Considering our church is in Durham (about a 30 minute drive), we were well-pleased to find out that there was a Sunday night home fellowship meeting right here in Wake Forest. Tonight was our first night and what a super smack your knee time we did have at a member’s beautiful home in the Forest. We’re studying D. A. Carson’s book A Call to Spiritual Reformation: Priorities from Paul and His Prayers [Amazon]. The topic tonight centered around prayer in light of 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12:

“To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power, so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

It’s important when attending a larger church like First Baptist Durham to be connected in home fellowships wherein one can get to know members that live and work in your community–and, of course, nobody complains if there’s good food on hand as was the occasion tonight.

When it’s our turn to bring a dish, you better believe the raspberry fluff recipe will show up in full force commending it’s tangy but gentle texture to the taste buds of the dessert deprived.
