F.A.Q

What is a “fellowship” anyway?

Is it only used in movies about knights and armor..."Let us go and fellowship one with another!” and then they go and eat a leg of mutton together...Is it some secret religious club where all the “fellows” memorize the Bible and test each other on their knowledge? Is it a club where everyone wears the same outfit and there are strict rules about attendance and a secret handshake?

What “fellowship” is not:

  • It’s not where you have to wear armor and eat large pieces of meat.
  • It’s not a religious club or sect that test each other on their knowledge of the Bible.
  • It’s not a scary place where you are judged, criticized or penalized for your past or present or your ideas or your opinions.
  • It’s not a place where attendance is mandatory.

What a“fellowship” is:

  • It is a group of people living in the same place, or neighborhood or having something in common like activities, interests, feelings and experiences.
  • It’s a company of friends.
  • It’s a safe place to share your fears, hopes and dreams for yourself and the people you love.
  • It’s a place where you don’t have to share if you don’t want to but if you do what you share is held in strictest confidence.
  • It’s a place that accepts you as you are and where you are in your spiritual walk.
  • It’s a place where there is respect for different opinions, experiences and backgrounds.

What a “fellowship” can be:

  • It can be a place of comfort and peace.
  • It can be a place of support.
  • It can be a place of learning.
  • It can be a place of building up and strengthening.
  • It can be a place of growth…in all aspects of your life.
  • It can be the start of long lasting and strong friendships.

Absolutely! Links Players provides resources—nearly all of it free—to support your Fellowship. These include the Links Players Handbook, a great five-week study to get your Fellowship going. Beyond this, the Links Daily Devotional provides daily talking points for your participants. On Fridays, the devotion is accompanied by a Bible study and often an introductory video. As much as you want it to be, the content for your Fellowship’s discussions can be “plug and play.” You’ll also find topical Bible studies on our site, or you might choose a curriculum of your own—anything that fits the five Links Players tenets. But, if you feel lead to use another biblical material to support your fellowship, feel free to do so.

Some fellowships have mostly golfers, and others have very few golfers.
