This week's reflection is dominated by the experience of climbing to the top of the church spire. Now shrouded in green netting and scaffolding it was a remarkably safe experience to climb the 10 ladders to the very top. It was a shame that it was a damp, overcast day so the photo opportunities are limited but I shall venture to the top again on a sunny day armed with my camera.
The reporter from the local newspaper has been chasing me for old picture of the church for a 'now and then' feature she wants to run in the pre-Easter edition. It's nice the media are chasing us for a story rather than us pleading for coverage.
Palm Sunday worship was both moving and memorable as we had an all-age service reflecting on Hans Memling's painting 'Passion of Christ'. Everyone seemed to offer positive feedback on the interactive nature of the worship. (It was good too to have friends from Bloomsbury in the congregation too!)
Holy Week observance is marred a little by the need to be in college on Monday and Tuesday but everything is prepared for the forthcoming activities and service for later in the week.
We have counted 320 Easter Eggs ready for our Easter Egg hunt - hopefully the weather will be kind. We've had a 'dry-run' for our Baptism and now need to hope both the plumbing and the heating hold up.
Easter promises to be both busy and joyous - return for a report next week.
