"Sometimes it's in the ordinary..."

Another really nice time of worship today at both 8 and 10am. A new song "Sovereign" by Chris Tomlin really caught on. Sue Howarth took us to the core of "our story" with God at Nativity, in "His-story" as she preached. (You can hear it on our website) 
And next week the Children and youth ministries get into full swing as we commission them for the year. And the 7pm service starts up then too.
But as Jo Danks (who took those photos this morning said:
"Sometimes it is just in the 'ordinary' that we see how blessed we really are. Today was one of those 'ordinary' Sundays. The sun was shining, people were smiling and in this beautiful country of ours, we have freedom to openly share worship and fellowship."
She's right. And again today people stayed on for a long time, chatting and playing, inside and out. Yeah. Nice.
