For most of us, the word “fellowship” brings to mind coffee and donuts on Sunday after church — or perhaps a monthly church potluck or seasonal Lenten soup supper.

For certain intrepid Lutherans, however, “fellowship” can mean much more than that.

In this episode, Sarah, Erin, and Rachel are highlighting and celebrating examples of EXTREME FELLOWSHIP!!! in Lutheran churches. From paintball tournaments to fashion shows, indoor camping to triangle dinners to ninja toilet treats (trust us: you’ll just have to listen to understand this one), Lutherans are, it turns out, pros at finding fun and creative ways to spend time together as the body of Christ.

And then, of course, there’s the most extreme act of fellowship of all: the Lord’s Supper.
