Thank you so very much for the December 7, 2009, Sentinel on "Christian fellowship."

It helped me focus my thoughts regarding fellowship in terms of branch church attendance and membership.

The branch Church of Christ, Scientist, that I recently moved away from had a very full and active membership. They embraced me as I joined them, and we grew, as memberships do, by continually looking at how the services follow the Manual of The Mother Church and grow and stay fresh at the same time. Each service reflected Soul in the outreach to those who may not have been familiar with a Christian Science service, while putting a smile on regular attendants' faces with fresh approaches. Having recently moved from the Midwest to the East Coast, I have been as warmly embraced and shown the same, yet individual, expression of fellowship and church home by a new-to-me local branch church membership.
