Another busy night with the church and hall full of people. It would be so good to see the church like this on a Sunday. If only we could make church as necessary as a trip to the toilet and a cup of tea on a long night of standing up then we will have cracked it.
I didn’t see anything much of the Carnival myself and neither did all those from the church who worked so hard last night. I am always very proud of them all when I see them working so hard. I left before it was all over and didn’t get home till 11pm (I’m preaching tonight so didn’t want to leave it too late to get to bed – I hope those who have to listen will appreciate this) so I dread to think what time everyone else got to bed. I look forward to hearing how much we have raised.
I heard lots of positive comments about the church. Some folks called the place a ‘lifesaver’, others – from other churches across the UK – commented on how wonderful it was to see the church open.
Well done to everyone who helped – you made the evening a really good one.
