Combined service

Our combined service this morning was well attended, although there are always noticeable gaps of people who should be there, who aren’t. Steve, Nick and I were the band, with Anthony leading the service. After the singing part, before Nick preached, he dismissed the children and teachers, and we went off to the Manse for Sunday School. Our boys volunteered plenty of extraneous information during story time, like Caleb volunteering that sometimes he gets angry, and then little brother’s voice piped up, “sometimes Caleb gets so angry that he hits me”. Maureen’s craft, which linked in with letting your light shine, was to make playdough tealight candle holders, which was a fun activity. Then it was all over and time for the lunch, which was the usual array of fishcakes, pizzas, quiches and sandwiches. Very enjoyable, very filling, and very much.
