Our English word, “fellowship” is the translation of the Greek word, “koinonia.” This Greek word is derived from the root, “koinos,” which was a prefix in ancient Greek. If you were to add this prefix to a word say,”living”,it gets a meaning of “living in community together”. So we see that the root of the word, “fellowship”, means “to hold something in common”. It is a word denoting a relationship that is dependent on more than one individual. It is an interdependent relationship.As Bob Gillam defined: “Fellowship is a relationship of inner unity among believers that expresses itself in outer co-participation with Christ and one another in accomplishing God’s will on earth.” You can practice fellowship by taking an active part where you can best help to accomplish God’s will for the Church. You can discover where you can best help by recognizing your spiritual gifts and natural abilities and by knowing the needs of our church. As you work and fellowship with others, your spiritual gifts will gradually surface and you’ll find your strength and gifts to serve and minister to His Grace in the Kingdom of God.
