Coffee Church

We don't go to church every week and it took us ages to find a church service to suits us. Lots were, wearing Sunday best, children should be seen and not heard, unfriendly, luckily our own local church started Coffee Church. It's very informal, you sit around at tables with tea/coffee, you don't have to stand to sing. It's very interactive, there's usually a quiz which is usually full of laughter as we get the answers wrong! But the best bit is that children can sit on a long line of tables crayoning, doing puzzles and using play-doh.
They can move around the church, they can come and see their family and show what they've made. After years of stressing over children making too much noise, being bored and hearing tuts resonating around the church I can now enjoy a friendly welcoming service.
We are the only family with children that consistently go and so we now are extremely interactive with the service.
All five children do the bible reading in the guise of a dramatic reading, luckily no acting is involved!
Eden has played her guitar and sung for over a year now but Clark has now been asked to play a beat box .
You sit on it to play it, this isn't Clark's legs by the way!

So he's been practicing all week and played today.
I took some pictures of Eden, Chris, our church youth worker and Clark. I think there's one of Soloman giving Chris a hug too. The children love him to bits!

I didn't get much knitting done last night, I've added a few more blogs to my reading list and I went through the lot reading back on a few of them until Casualty came on! Hopefully I'll catch up a bit tonight!
It's been raining all afternoon which is really boring. It's quite cold too, still no snow though? Anyone else got any?
