Faith In God

Now how in the world could someone like yourself

, a single lady, get involved in Fellowship Church because of sports?

APRIL: Well, I enjoy volleyball. I played with a company team out at Long Star Country Club which is where the church has been playing. One night, it was kind of bad weather and half of my team did not show up. So I had myself and one other girl to play a six-man team. You cant have other people who play in the same league sub in for you. One of the referees said there was a church league and to ask one of them. I went over. Barry Ford, who is the Sports Pastor, was one of the ones playing. He and a couple of the other guys came and played. I dont even remember if we won or lost. It doesnt even matter at this point. After we played, we got to talking. Barry said, Why dont you come to check out the church. I thought, OK, whatever.

During the week, I thought about it and thought about it and decided that I should just go. I went and Barry saw me and said, Hey, we are having a golf tournament today. Want to come help out?

Ed Young Sermons: This was the first time you ever attended?

APRIL: I said I had never been on a golf course, but OK. I went and it turned into a 12-hour day. Then we went to play flag football, too. One of the teams was short a player, so I played flag football that day, too. And then back to golf. Ever since then, I have come every week. It has completely changed my life. I had faith in God before, but didnt think I needed church. Being part of the sports ministry has allowed me to meet a lot of other people and to bring people in. I have a best friend who I have known since second grade.
