Short post this one – we’ve found a church.
Everyone seems lovely, we’ve been made very welcome.
And we guessed quickly. My husband said as we walked into the village hall in which the service is held that he had a good feeling about it. And for me, his happiness there is a fundamental element.
Sermons are interesting, bible-based and on the passage of the day. While the services do go on a bit, it’s ok and nothing that choosing shorter passages wouldn’t cure…
Child-friendly songs with actions are sung as well as more devotional and upbeat adult ones.
My son waves ribbon banners with other kids because he wants to and says “I like church!” completedly unprompted. He mainly likes the carpet with the toy box – the Sunday School is for children a bit older than him…
There’s a worship band, an overhead screen, coffee after the service and sometimes bacon sandwiches beforehand.
The service is 11am, so the Sunday lie-in is not completely gone.
We’ve already been invited to social stuff – I’ve had a women’s social evening, and there’s just so much going on. And there’s a whole world of old people visited, families guided and more that I’ve not even mentioned yet.
This seems to be a church with the holy spirit working within it. And we can see that it is good.
