...but everything to do with church. We are headed tonight for the third installment of 'how to do homegroups'. This is when everyone who would normally attend a homegroup gathers instead in church for the vicar's ideas on how to do things. Mostly it's fine but I have one or two gripes. Firstly it starts on time. Now this isn't a problem except that I'm working (most unusually) 15 miles away and end up with 50 minutes to arrive home, cook supper, eat supper and walk to church. At homegroup all I would miss is a bit of chat, but now I miss the cup of tea and the first five minutes of the session. So today I'm trying something different - toast for tea. C will just have to get his own. Secondly it's in church, and therefore, this being a stone church in the frozen North, it's cold. Even in September. Thirdly we sing. Now I am quite a fan of singing usually, but sometimes it just gets a bit much. The repertoire is a little limited too. Maybe if I arrive a bit later still I can avoid the singing. So I am looking forward to the resumption of normal service, if indeed that is what will happen. For my fourth gripe is that I have no idea why we're doing this (though I grant you that I may have missed that at the start of a meeting). It's only for September so we shall see what happens afterwards. Rant over.
I have much sympathy with fishsoup in the comments about arm waving etc. I am a terrible evangelical. Why is it then that I end up worshipping at evangelical churches? I think it may be something to do with theology, or possibly with God...
