Table Church 4

We met for our fourth and probably best meeting yet on Monday 6th April. Ostensibly the topic was Easter and yes we did spend some time just outlining the events from Palm Sunday through to Easter Day. But as always events had overtaken us. We ended up taking about two things that had occurred on the previous Sunday. Firstly I went walkabout after a group of children who came unexpectedly to Church and left half way through. I felt that I wanted to apologise to them for not meeting their needs and find out what they wanted from church. (More in the next post). We also shared about a service of thanksgiving that was held after the main service and seemed to open up a vein of healing for a number of people.

I also introduced some liturgy for the first time and we had a washing of hands as shared in a simple communion as our part of remembering the events of Maundy Thursday. The liturgy was based on material produced by Mark Berry on his Way Out West Blog. It proved very effective and shows that there is a place for it in the Table Church experience.
