9:30 @ St. Peters Hutton

It's All Saints' Day, the firework party happened on Friday. I'm greeted by a friendly church warden, and we have a brief chat. The fireworks display went well and was sold out. Numbers have to be limited because of the size of the field. There are a number of fathers and small children in church this morning, and I will have brief conversations with a couple of them later. The small children are well-behaved and make little noise during the service. The church warden delivers small bags of things for the children to play with. Brenda has returned from her travels, and is at the front with Bob throughout the service. Bob leads and Brenda preaches. 10 minutes on the reading from Revelation, and our understanding of Heaven. A much reduced Sunday School arrives towards the end of communion, and take their places at the front of church. For communion in St. Peters, we stand in front of a raised area, two steps high. It's curved, and protrudes into the church slightly. The servers go forward to receive first, and the distribution continues from there. Blessings are said for the children. There are four in the choir this morning. One I had definitely not seen before. The sung parts of the worship don't work terrible well, but they are trying their best.
