Today, Sunday 5th, we did something different at church, apart from starting on time! About 30 of the congregation gathered from 9.15 am to take part in a free breakfast and to enjoy a time of fellowship before the main meeting. On offer was cereal, toast, croissants, fruit juice, toast, tea and coffee (with bacon rolls for those who wanted something less healthy). Superbly organised by someone who is so modest he did not want his name mentioned it was a great time.
Following the breakfast, those present then took Communion together. This was special, as we remembered the true meaning behind Communion. It was also the first time, I think, that we had had Communion in a setting other than 'normal' church. After a short break we had our usual Sunday morning celebration which despite the time we had already spent at church went really fast.
It's a great way of doing church, it builds relationships and strengthens and deepens the sense of community that is so vital to the church. Can't wait for the next breakfast, due on Sunday November 2nd at 9.15. The only niggle I have is that I only had one bacon roll and someone knocked my filter coffee over!
