The Nelia Tingle Fellowship

This Fellowship was started many years ago to honor the memory of one of our beloved church members, Cornelia Tingle, affectionately know as "Nelia".  Nelia Tingle was a Sunday School teacher for many years, and was involved with the mission work of the church.  After she passed away, some of the membership of her Sunday School class decided to meet once each month to honor her memory.

We carry on that tradition today by coming together once a month, on the second Thursday for a covered dish meal and business meeting.

Our group is involved in mission work as well, both in-house and in our community.  The only months we do not meet are July and August.  We support such activities as the local Food Pantry in our area, the Bay Aging senior services such as Medcarry and the Bay Aging Walk-A-Thon.

We support the American Cancet Society Relay for Life.  We  also collect and ship needed items for our troops overseas.  Have an annual toy drive to benefit needy children in our area at Christmas time, and collect and deliver school supplies to the Northumberland schools twice each year.  We also support support our Covington-Hurst Education Fund (CHEF) to help deserving local students defray costs of their schooling.
