Visiting Loved Ones
Over the last couple of months we have missed any opportunity to see our family. We have tried to check in on them throughout the months. These two are very special people to our family since we walked through the doors to Fellowship all those years ago. Pastor Dean has always been so welcoming and…

A Hair Change
Today was my hair appointment as you can see. I needed a freshener of sorts, but wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted color wise. Gina is a magician she knows what looks good and never disappoints me. Gina and I decided on a red brown color. She knows more about what numbers she used, but…
