Back To Church Week

Oct 11, 2021 15:11

Yay - our first day back at our Church for over 18 months. We have been doing things on-line, and our return was delayed as we had building work done ... a new entrance foyer, refurb of the loos, new office space etc. Here are some photos taken last month if you want to see what I mean

Our first hymn was a modern one -

Lovely verse :)

It must be nice to be back in person after all this time. I’m sure those who didn’t get on with the technology are very pleased.

It was so lovely to actually see people again, that I had only seen on chat comments.

I am so glad that you have been able to worship together at last.

That looks to be a very major project, and looks very good.

And I know that hymn - it is on one of the CDs we sometimes play in the Churches' Bookshop and I really like it.

Oh it was so lovely to actually go into Church ... it made the whole morning very special.

Yes, the building work is looking good, and most of the money was already raised so a long project, and an answer to prayer

Yes, there are some lovely new hymns out there ... and that is one of them

When I first read that you hadn't attended services for 18 months, I thought "COVID."

That was a huge undertaking!

Lovely hymn.

Well Covid certainly caused the initial closing - but we decided to use the oppertunity of having builders in, and working without disrupting the services ... so it is looking good, now

That's a very nice-looking building. I imagine it's great being back in person!

I love the old hymns best but there are several new ones I really like as well.

So sorry for the delay in replying

Oh yes, the new extension is really nice - a lovely open foyer. Yes, there are a few nice new hymns, but a lot are just so over-repetative.

I've heard them called 7-11 hymns: the same 7 verses repeated 11 times.

Haven't heard that name - but certainly makes sense
