Today we had planned to be beside the river on the meadow with the Salvation Army Band accompanying the hymns. Instead we had to flee the rain and hold our service in the village hall. We had a happy time with the band playing beautifully and our own Occasional Singers leading the singing. In Britain we often have to have a Plan B with the vicissitudes of our weather. Perhaps that is what makes us so resourceful. God is never cought out by a change of plan. He knows the end from the beginning. Your life might seem to be in a mess, just commit it to God and He will make something beautiful from it.
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.
