We had a great time at church on Sunday. Tracey, from an excellent band called 'Tall Trees' came and led an evening of worship. We don't have any musicians amongst us, but Tracey comes about once a month with her guitar and her passion.
Usually at church, one tries to do a bit of everything every time. So a bit of worship, a bit of prayer, a sermon. But it occurred to me that there is no law that says one has to do everything every week. So I decided that this week we would just do sung worship (well, and tea and cake of course), with space for prayer and for people to share thoughts and readings ad hoc if they wanted to. And it was very lovely. Usually we meet from 4-6pm. But by the time we'd overrun a bit with the worship, stayed around and chatted and drunk more tea, the last of us didn't actually leave the building until quarter to eight!!
As we were leaving a homeless guy came over and began telling us his life story. So three of us went with him to the kebab shop and opened up the church again so he could have his take away in comfort with coffee. Interesting evening...
