As we continue our Lent worship series Our Sacred World this past Sunday we thought about “church” – the perfect theme for an all ages service!
As 2020 is our chance to explore our “vision” of worship, we used projection, sang “Take, O Take Me As I Am” (with actions for those who wish) and “What Can I Do?” (as the offering was collected), and said hello to “Robbie”.
Rather than one long sermon, we had two short reflections – Natalie shared “What Are You Today?” and Emily shared “The Church Is…” after the children left to continue age-specific worship for the final part of the service. During this time we listened to a beautiful movement of Eleanore Daley’s “Requiem.” After our final hymn, we had our Annual General Meeting, announcements, and then the commissioning and sung blessing. This is a reminder that our work and worship are not separate from each other, but are all sacred. The meeting wasn’t long, but it included an interim budget to approve, as well as a Renovation Team report with a sneak peak (photos) of what is happening downstairs!
A time of coffee, tea, and conversation was enjoyed after the service as usual, thanks to our wonderful volunteers.
Thank you to Murray Fenner our volunteer photographer for capturing these images of the All Ages Service and the Annual General Meeting.
