Kirk Fellowship Programs
The Fellowship Committee organizes events to promote interaction among
the congregation and to provide support to other committees when they
hold meetings that involve food preparation.
Fellowship Events
Fellowship events include the Advent Fair, the Kirk Fall Family
Retreat at Montreat, the Women's Retreat, the Winter Fest, Fellowship
Dinners (both catered and covered-dish), Sunday Breakfasts, and an Ice
Cream Social. These events are planned and hosted by the Fellowship Committee.
Fellowship Opportunities Provided in 2002
Join the men of the Kirk as they gather for breakfast and other fellowship
activities.
Meet, greet, eat and be entertained once a month in this fellowship group for those 50+.
Fall Family Retreat
The Kirk of Kildaire's Fall Family Retreat is an annual weekend
retreat (Friday evening through Sunday afternoon) traditionally
held at Montreat during the month of October.
The purpose of the retreat is to foster fellowship among families
of the Kirk and to provide for the spiritual nurture of families by offering
opportunities for growth in faith, family relationships, and family spiritual
practices. The retreat also provides an opportunity for corporate worship.
Wednesday Night Potluck Dinners
These events are monthly dinners where people come together to share
a meal. Types of dishes are assigned by last name (in an attempt to assure
a decent distribution of food types). All are welcome to come to these
dinners.
Jesus' Birthday Party
This annual event is a celebration of the birth of Jesus offered
primarily for the Kirk children. The birth story is told and acted out,
songs are sung, and light refreshments are provided.
Kirk Stewardship Dinner
This event is a dinner (sometimes catered, sometimes potluck) meeting
for the purpose of discussing and explaining Kirk goals and hopes for
the stewardship campaign. The Fellowship Committee provided support work
setting up the meeting room, serving the food and cleaning up after the
event.
