This evening I went to dinner at my small group leader's home. Most of the women from the group were able to attend, including the new moms and their precious baby boys. : )
Our hostess, J, prepared a delicious meal: chicken breasts in a sherry sauce, broccoli casserole, and rice with veggies. Before dinner we had baked brie and cold shrimp with cocktail sauce. Dessert was a smorgasbord of chocolate layer cake, Swedish apple cake, brownies, mini pumpkin mousse cakes and other assorted delights. Everything was beautifully prepared and presented.
As wonderful as the meal was, the fellowship around the table was even better. I have grown to love the women in my group and it was sad to think that tonight was the last time we would all be together as members of J and T's small group. Perhaps some of us will be together in the fall, maybe even in J and T's group again, but the chances are slim. At the very least we will see one another in the large group gathering and, for those who attend College Church, in worship on Sundays. While it was sad to say good-bye this evening, it will be a joy to say hello again in September.
