Premise has been a prayer fellowship for Christians who work in the entertainment industry, with a history of 33 years of fellowship. But recently, the organization reached the end of a road. Whatever the dynamics are that lead to the end of a fellowship are an issue for another time. Last night, we held a Reunion and Farewell party – to celebrate the events and friendships that are shining spots in Premise’s existence.
The last time the fellowship had gathered had been at the June business meeting. Because this had the aura of celebration and reunion, there was a lot of conversation going on. Happy conversation.
Of course, there is always a good time when food is around.
Looking back over the history of the group made for a period of good reflection – many blessings. Fun retreats together. Relationships built, including marriages. The loss of some friends to death, and remembering with joy what those individuals brought to the group.
Nobody was feeling that this event meant the end of all the relationships that had been fostered by the group, though. Indeed, the conversations seemed to indicate that many in the group will stay in contact, and even reconnect with former members who joined us at the party.
I had had a long day prior to the party, so this gathering was a perfect ending to it.
As individuals move forward, including some new options for fellowship and ongoing prayer together, this party marks a true celebration of what that fellowship can mean. It was a very good evening.
