Cafe church at Feltwell this morning, started with coffee juice, muffins and cookies...light jazz playing in the background and a happy buzz of conversation....
Followed with a relaxed service, using film and music with thoughts and testimony. It was a very moving morning, God spoke powerfully through the film clip, the message , and the music...the hard work the day before had been worth it. Two new families who'd recieved invitations through the Brownies and Rainbows groups were challenged and comfortable at the same time.
We will try this again, it was hard for some of the older folk who are used to a more formal service, I believe there is room for both...and that perhaps once a month we should try to do something special along these lines.
Next hurdle the Church Council meeting to gague their response.
