So what would you like the church to be like? It's not a good idea for a building to be there just for Sundays, what a waste. We're hoping to have lots of meetings that people will want to attend. Of course everyone is always welcome at the Sunday service. I think coffee mornings where people can meet in the daytime in the week and just relax and have a chatter, are a good thing. Maybe we could sometimes do a light lunch too. We could have craft sessions where people could meet and swap skills. Maybe we could have sessions to help silver surfers understand their laptops. Also something for the children. This sounds like part of a thriving community. This looks like part of the way forward.
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
