Today has been a busy day so far, with the prospect of it continuing in the same way! This morning we had the early Communion service, then the Celebrate at Ten family service (with Sunday Club during it), then 11.30 Morning Prayer.
This afternoon we went for a drive to Portadown, for the second flower festival of the year, in St Mark's church. So now I'm back and checking emails just before I head out to choir practice. It turns out that, while there was no practice on Thursday, it is in fact this afternoon, probably so that we can remember what we have learnt closer to the event! We're doing a Sung Evensong (well, I suppose Evensong wouldn't be said), which is something I haven't done in years and years... It used to be the tradition in Dromore diocese that on Ascension Thursday the choirs came together to do Evensong, conducted by Duncan Peel, and more recently, Stephen Timpany. It went round several places, including St Patrick's Newry, St Matthew's Scarva, Seapatrick and Dromore.
Then afterwards at YF we're having a 'split session', where some of us will look at the Rapture, the End Times and predestination (with the promise of hard questions from some people...), while the rest will look at Teambuilding. Then it is my usual drive to Newtownstewart...
Today my boss has went to Bulgaria on holiday, with a group of 18 people from West Tyrone Voice, which means he won't be in the office for a fortnight. But there's plenty of stuff to be done, including the publication of the next issue of our group newsletter, and various other stuff.
Oh, and thank you to all who read the blog, and have made comments... keep them coming!
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all, evermore. Amen.
