Christian Fellowship

The Christian Fellowship Committee (CFC) nurtures activities of faith and fellowship at Salem and helps both new and continuing members find avenues of service, fulfillment, and belonging. Throughout each year, the CFC plans, hosts, and participates in many of the following fellowship centered activities and events:

  • Early Easter weekend many CFC members and others gather at the church to help decorate and bring to life the Church sanctuary and other building areas with Palms and Palm leaves and many beautiful springtime flowers from white lilies, pink azaleas, various colors of tulips and other springtime blooms.  This is a wonderful time of year as participants watch a gorgeous transformation take effect and help mark the Celebration of Easter at Salem!
  • In the April-May timeframe the Committee reconnects after a long winter with either “Mothers, Daughters, and Friends” Luncheon with planned entertainment to enjoy, or, more recently, a simple gathering of members catching up with everyone and enjoying some tasty finger foods and other light refreshments after all of Salem’s services
  • In June, the CFC helps Salem celebrate Summertime’s arrival and with some deft organization skills, the congregation will either find themselves enjoying anything from hot dogs on the grill, watermelon slices and other picnic style delights to lemon-peppermint sticks, cookies, and lemonade.   There’s always some surprises for the little ones and great fellowship enjoyed by all.  
  • On one Sunday in late September-October timeframe, the CFC welcomes Fall with a host of various homemade fall treats and other tasty finger foods.  This happens following each service.
  • In November, the CFC participates in Salem’s Annual Marketplace, with its’ annual contribution to “Salem’s Silent Auction”, which helps raise monies that will be donated to assist three specially chosen charities for that year.

In addition to the above, the CFC hosts several New Member “Meet and Greets” that usually follow the late service several times during any given year.  Besides good food, this event allows new and old members time to mingle and get to know one another, and catch up with others.

     The Christian Fellowship Committee welcomes anyone interested in helping or joining the CFC. The committee’s primary goal is to offer the Salem congregants some social time with each other throughout a year.
