The church felt quite empty today. There were a number of late arrivals, but not as many as the week before last. The hymns were largely unknown, by me and the congregation. The congregation appeared smaller than usual, though I sat near the front and therefore couldn't do an accurate count.
Brenda did the 10 minute talk, which was about guides through the wilderness, and the Christian life as a journey. It was an interesting sermon, but did not appear to have anything very special for the children. Apart from one, there were only the very small children today, and only 4 families represented.
One good thing they have – leaflets inviting everyone in the parishes of Shenfield & Hutton to a service over Christmas. All the churches are covered, and there are requests for people to take and distribute the leaflets.
