	THE RIVER FELLOWSHIP	What is The River Fellowship? An activity group at CMBC built around the common interests of faith and fly fishing. It is part of the Small Group Ministry of the church and is also connected to Men’s Ministry. What is the purpose? The River Fellowship is a place where men can connect with other men in the church, build relationships, share knowledge, develop skills, swap fishing stories, share life experiences, grow spiritually, and fish together. Additionally, the group can be a welcoming point for new or less-connected men in the church, and be an avenue to invite others who share this interest. What will a typical meeting be like? While our interest fly fishing initially brings us together, our faith in Jesus holds us together. Therefore we’ll do a variety of things that incorporate faith and fly fishing such as: fish some of Oregon’s rivers, have a fly-tying class, hear from guest experts about casting, reading water, fishing for steelhead, etc. We’ll spend time in the Word and share our faith journeys. In addition, we’ll do a service project together. Who is invited to be a part of this group? Men who love to fly fish, whether experienced or a beginner may participate. Later on we may offer something for those who have never fished with “feather and hackle” but for now you should at least own a fly rod. We will help each other and learn from one another. When will the group meet? We will meet every other Thursday from 7:30-9:00 p.m. in G305 (balcony room above the Chapel). What should I do if I’m interested or would like to know more? Contact Pete if you are interested in being a part of this group.
