Today the church was packed as we welcomed parents and children from SPLAT.
I missed some of the service while helping utside the church to cut bread rolls for hot dogs afterwards.
We got rid of 220 sausgaes in rolls in about 40 mins!
I love events like this as even passers by stop and chat and come in for coffee.
They won’t come into the church building when we are inside, but if we venture outside the doors, even if its only to the courtyard, we get to meet people.
People seem to want to share their stories rather than engage in worship.
This happens every time we venture outside, so why can’t we do this every Sunday?

Sarah tells me there was over 85 children this week at SPLAT, and around half of them made some form of ‘commitment’.
Today we had loads of people around who seemed to enjoy the laid back service and the chance to chat with people.

But I have a worry!
What happens next week if these people return?
They will return to a normal ‘Common Worship’ service which I can’t cope with too well, let alone others!
We must be able to do more … or is it less?
Or maybe I should turn up at 11.00 with a BBQ ready to serve sausages at 12!?
