Wednesday Fellowship
Many years ago the Women's Wednesday Fellowship was formed to provide a meeting point for the women of, and around, the church who undertook the more traditional activities of the time of homemaking and child-caring.
Such a group has stayed together, whilst lifestyle changes have occurred which have seen women taking on full time jobs. Such changes resulted in little "new blood" coming in to ensure a spread of young and old in the group.
In order to keep the group viable, a decision was taken to rename it as the Wednesday Fellowship, and to make it open to men as well as women. Following this change a few years ago, it has been meeting very succesfully under this banner.
Meetings take place every fortnight during March - July, and September - December, in Wellspring at 2.15p.m. unless otherwise stated. The programme for 2010 is shown below :-
