It seems to have been quite a while since we managed to get to a service at our church together as a family. We managed it this Sunday for our Harvest Festival. Our Minister Rev. Will Hunter lead the worship and used the Parable of the Sower for the basis of the service.

As it was a family service with the all the Guides and Scouts, etc. taking part the sermon was fairly short and took the form of a multiple choice quiz on the pertinent aspects of the parable, namely what happened to the seed the sower planted.

It was a pity that no-one had checked the microphone before the service started as the kids that read the lessons couldn’t be heard. This is frustrating for both the reader and the listeners. I think I’ll have to make sure that this gets added to the list of things the stewards should check before the service begins. Funnily enough the steward couldn’t be heard when she read out the notices!
