How Post Oak Fellowship Came to Be...
fellowship [ fel-oh-ship ]
November 2019...
A group of men, fellow believers in Christ, along with their wives gathered in a home on November 3 to pray and share scriptures. A time of comforting, confession, and fellowship became a worship experience. In John 13: 34-35, Jesus recognized us as disciples because of our love for one another. Because of this gathering, we wanted to continue meeting, bring together others who may have scattered and to share the love of Christ with others.
