Fellowshipping in the Home

Our September fellowship supper group was a small one, so one couple in our church offered to have the meal in their home, instead of at the church. What a wonderful idea!


Their home is on a creek, and the views from the dock were serene at twilight.

We enjoyed visiting on the deck before dinner.
 After a delightful meal around their table -- lasagna, mac/cheese, breadsticks, chicken tetrazzini and other delicious dishes -- we gathered on the deck again as darkness fell.
 These are the simple times of fellowship, especially in a small church, that make us more like family and less like a group of people who just happen to see each other for an hour on Sunday. These times are real fellowship.

Another small but mighty group is our Ladies' Bible Study, which meets on Monday afternoons at one lady's home. We had eight (out of nine) of us there on Monday to start off our autumn study, so we took a "selfie"!
Our conversations are honest about the spiritual topics that matter so much to us, that are on our minds as we age, matters about family that are important to us as women. This is a great bunch of ladies, and we are so thankful for each other!
