Beach Preach

The town where I attend church is at the beginning of Victoria's Surf Coast and yesterday we had our church service at the beach. We set up on this lovely summer morning on a small grassed area looking out over the surf beach and dunes. It was great... and wonderful to be together out in the fresh sea air, singing, praying, listening. We were right beside a path, and early morning “life-be-in-it” types were jogging past or walking dogs and hopefully catching a bit of the minister's message to exercise their minds along with their legs.
We shared communion and as I was meditating on the “body of Christ broken for me” with the fresh wind blowing on the back of my neck, I felt very close to God.
