We went to church last night. It was our church (the old building) and even with the short walk from car to building, Alan had problems, but he made it in and out!
The service was unusual, but a blessing.
The songs were familiar hymns (Thank God for the old hymns), and we were able to join in without aid of hymnal. Putting the words on a screen doesn't work when there are tall people in front of you.
Then three boys were baptized. Great part of the service that was.
Then we turned around and the pastor was dressed in circa 30 AD dress for a shepherd. He gave a wonderful monologue about the day of the crucifixion from a shepherd's point of view. The church was also blessed with two baby goats (supposed to be lambs) who bleated and baa-ed at various times throughout the monologue. And it wasn't a distraction. Once the "shepherd" reunited the two "lambs" all noise stopped. Amazing.
Then there was the time of prayer and supplication when we could go to the "cross" (yes there was a large wooden cross in front of the sanctuary) and pray for forgiveness and give praise to God who sent his Son to be the Saviour of the world. I thank God for his Son. Do you?
