The Fellowship is home to a variety of active committees, community projects, social and fund-raising events.
Help for Homeless Families
Through Family Promise of Reno/Sparks for one week every three months we turn our church buildings into shelters for homeless families. In our kitchen, volunteers cook and serve meals and provide other assistance for homeless parents and their children. Volunteers are always needed.
Social Justice
The Fellowship has been involved in community projects on a variety of issues through its Social Justice Committee. The group developed projects ranging from assisting our young people to sell florescent light bulbs to presenting a Northern Nevada public meeting on local and global water issues. Individual members have a variety of specific interests including women’s issues and anti-death penalty work. In addition many members are volunteers with Big Brothers Big Sisters.
The Fellowship is also working to create a Green Sanctuary by reducing our energy consumption, building awareness of environmental issues and other activities.
Activities for Fun
In addition to our serious endeavors, we have many activities for
fun. The fellowship offers men's and women's groups and a book club.
We have movie nights and monthly potlucks. Impromptu Sierra hikes
are popular and our small Circle Dinners are a great way to meet
new people. Our annual Fall Fair, Fall Art Show and Sale and our
unique Services Auction offer involvement opportunities--and bargains.
Committees also develop seminars, assist with building
and landscape maintenance, plan social events, and conduct the financial
affairs of the congregation.
