Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink. No, not a reference to the church roof leaking (in fact the weather has been uncharacteristically dry this week) but to the theme of water in the Old Testament reading (Moses striking the rock at Horeb so the people could drink), the Gospel (the woman at the well in Samaria), the sermon based on this inclusive gospel message, and the anthem (Wash me throughly - Wesley). The anthem went better in the evening than the morning - there were fewer people but it sounded more confident. Actually, given the temperature in the church on what must have been the chilliest day of the year, I think you'd have had to break the ice on top of the washbowl first.....
