Sometimes we can use that little four letter word as a huge excuse for doing very little. I suppose the truth is that we are a much busier world.
I was up very late last night and while I was working, the television was on, almost as wallpaper music. I watched with half an eye the Canadian motor race, can’t remember what followed but then came onto a programme which diod make me look a little bit more. It was all about Sunday Schools in the past. It covered an era of my childhood and reminded me of what it used to be like.
Frankly, there certainly seemed more time to be ‘normal’ in thos days. Things that gave great pleasure were more easily achieved. Kids went to Sunday School and enjoyed it. Now everything is rushed and levels of spirituality, which gave standards certainly was in place in society. Now the pressure of work and ironically the pressure of pleasure seem to dominate.
At the church this week we are Busy… Busy…Busy. A special friend of the church is back again. Andre’ Kempen, a remarkable musician from South Africa is with us again. It was booked without us knowing at the time that it is the same weekend as Wimborne Folk Festival. Thousands will pass right by the church and we are planning to do short and sharp sessions outside, if the weather holds. Saturday night will be a ‘concert’ and Sunday worship in the morning plus our Sunday evening service (the Sunday evening is being held in Shamrock Court’ a sheltered housing scheme.) So for us it will be very busy.
Interested? Give me a ring on o1202 546921 for more details.
