Anyway, today I am going to Claxby. About 160 people live in Claxby and about 20 will be in church today but some will be from neighbouring villages. There are eight churches in the group so each gets a monthly service.
You might think that vicars are a bit thin on the ground but organists are the proverbial hen's teeth around here. I take recorded music to the churches where hymns are sung.
Claxby Church takes very good care of me. Many churches are very happy to help people with disabilities but can overdo it. I think it is part of my ministry to show that people with disabilities also have abilities and want to offer service.
Parking is a bit tricky near the church so I park at someone's house and she will feed me coffee and home made cake after the service.
Claxby Church likes to use the old Book of Common Prayer so we will praise God in words which have been in use since 1662 in a building which has been there since at least 1300.
And today I will be there to help people to praise God and hear his word.
God bless you, and His people, as you worship together!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It felt like a "good" servie. (You know what I mean.)
DeleteI'm sure everyone attending that church this Sunday will be glad that there is a Plan B!
ReplyDeleteI think they were. They all look after me.
DeleteNice to know that you are made welcome.
ReplyDeleteI was made very welcome. I had a new churchwarden helping me so we helped each other.
