Fellowship

Dedication of Barrow Fellowship Hall

The fellowship hall was recently named in honor of Dr. Harry Barrow, long-time, beloved pastor of the congregation. Dr. Barrow retired January 2016, after 31 years of ministry at Newnan Presbyterian Church.

For the celebration, Barrow Fellowship Hall was decorated in purple and gold, Dr. Barrow’s team (LSU) colors. A plaque was presented to Dr. Barrow, which will be placed at the entrance to the Fellowship Hall. The preschool and fellowship hall building were built in the late 1990s. Dr. Barrow was instrumental in the planning and construction of the facility. When told of the plans to name the fellowship hall in his honor, Dr. Barrow said that he was “overwhelmed by the gesture.” He reflected on past, faithful church members who helped pave the way for the former fellowship hall and then the men and women whose faithful ministry and generous gifts made the new, present Fellowship Hall possible.

Family Night Supper

Whether sharing a pot-luck dinner or a catered meal, Family Night Suppers offer a wonderful opportunity for fellowship with church members.  Beginning with a program at 5:15 pm each Wednesday followed by dinner at 6:00 pm.  Reservations, if needed, can be made through the Events Page.

Rehearsal for the various children’s choirs precedes Family Night Supper and adult choir practice is immediately afterwards.

Help Wanted:
It takes many volunteers to make Family Night Suppers happen. If you would be interested and willing to help with these suppers, please contact the church office, or just come a little early this Wednesday and offer your help to Kitty.

Men's Fellowship

The Newnan Presbyterian Men’s Fellowship is a men’s group that includes all the men of the church, young and old, fathers, sons, grandfathers, married and single.

The purpose of this group is to provide a way for men to meet new friends in the church, engage in fellowship to promote bonding, mentoring and friendship.  We have such a diverse group of men, and believe we have a lot to share with each other. We meet once a month or every other month, having a meal together and then an unstructured time of fellowship, which might include a program, speaker or other activity to promote group objectives.

Coffee Time

Coffee Time is held each Sunday morning between Sunday School and the late service in the Main building across from the pastor’s office.  This is a good time to meet new members and enjoy fellowship with everyone.  All ages are welcome to join us for coffee or tea and a light snack.    

FEAST Groups

FEAST Groups (Friends Eating And Sharing Together) are small groups of members who meet several times to share a meal, either in a member’s home, local restaurant, or any agreed upon location.  The FEAST Groups provide an opportunity to get to know members of our Newnan Presbyterian Family.  Each group decides what activities it would enjoy.  

Shepherd Program

The Shepherd Program connects new members with existing members, who can assist in the new member becoming an active part of Newnan Presbyterian Church.  Shepherds are matched on with members who share the same interests, family background, age, etc.

Church Picnic

The annual Church Picnic in early fall is an old-fashioned outdoor worship service followed by a potluck dinner-on-the-ground.  Held at a rural setting, the picnic is a highlight of the fall season, as the congregation brings covered dishes and fills the morning with music and God’s message following by great food and Christian fellowship.    

Faith and Fellowship

An annual event organized by the Diaconate, Faith & Fellowship is a day when members of the congregation join together in a variety of activities that both enhance our Christian relationships and further the mission of the Church.  Usually scheduled on a winter Saturday, the agenda begins with a light breakfast and includes visiting homebound members; completing maintenance and minor repair projects within the church; or volunteering at a local charity such as the Coweta Food Pantry or Good Samaritan House. The day culminates with camaraderie and lunch at the Fellowship Hall. It’s a great way to do the lord’s work and get to know your neighbors a little better.
