A day of many joys and some disappointments. One joy was that a former Muslim member was around for the first time in a while and some people who rarely join us were there, the disappointments mostly entered on missing people. Two people were absent in the morning because a rogue mouse had chosen the moment before church to make himself known and then hide. Another disappeared part way through when his mother realised she had left the cooker on. Such is church life. A lot of people seemed to arrive late in the morning.
I preached on Christmas through Joseph's eyes in the morning and through Mary's in the evening The evening service was preceded by communion. About nine of us there for that. Nice to have a former member with us for that.
So a day's march further forward. Loved the two Charles Wesley hymns we sang, as always at this time of the year.
Glory be to God on high,
And peace on earth descend;
God comes down: He bows the sky,
And shows Himself our Friend!
God the' invisible appears,
God, the blest, the great I AM,
Sojourns in this vale of tears,
And Jesus is His name.
