Just back from the pub...

The church was invited by the local pub to have a Carol Service with them, so we all went  to the John Baird pub and had a bit of a sing-song.

The landlord gave us the freedom to do whatever we thought appropriate so we had some songs, readings, and Will, one of our Vicars, gave a small talk.

It was an odd, but very interesting, night.  I'm not sure the church has done anything like it before and it certainly was a "slight" variation on the nine lessons and carols format.  But we met some very interesting people, took a little bit of Christmas out into the community and, on the whole, it seemed to go down with the regulars well.
