SLEEPING!

I sat down on the sofa late this afternoon and didn't see daylight again till almost an hour lately. I don't often do that, so I guess I was tired. Part of that is probably due to the fact that I am sleeping lightly lately, keeping an ear open for how Gill is doing (nights are rough for her) and then there is the fact that this morning was busy at church of course.

It was a good Easter Sunday, with our attendance up by around 35% on an average Spring Sunday. It was good to see some old friends and also to see so many new faces around the place.

We had a bunch of people working on the kids' program and we re-launched our alternative service, Altered, with almost 100 teens and early 20's there (plus a few Peter Pans!). So the whole theater was buzzing with life. I love it!

One of the things I enjoy about using the theater is that it gives us the scope to develop different programs, aimed at various ages and even divergent tastes in worship styles. Now that Altered is back on track, what style comes next?

I like the idea of adding an acoustic, cafe-style service.
When? Not sure!
How? That's taking shape!

This is Grace Church - you never know what's next!
