Having arrived on the Monday we happened across Tenby Salvation Army's citadel and all commented on the things that went on there. We were especially attracted to their Sunday evening 'café church' service. Every time we parked in Tenby we passed the sign and looked forward to Sunday, 6pm and 'café style topical worship'. Sunday arrived and, unusually for us, we arrived at 5:45pm and were greeted with a notice:
Well, we were disappointed but we went looking on the Esplande and eventually, finding nothing, gave up!
Assuming the open-air thing wasn't a spur of the moment happening it would have helped to have put the notice up after the previous Sunday's services were done. The cherries on the cake were that we'd left a great day on the beach to be frustrated and we'd also fancied a beach worship in Saundersfoot but as it was same time as the Sally Ann café we kept to our original plans and ended up with nothing :-(
A lesson in communication for us all I hope, for I'm sure we have all had similar happenings in the churches in which we find ourselves, or have we?

Yes indeed, like our church notice board which reads "Morning Prayer 9.15 am Mon to Fri". Which should read "when there is someone to lead it".
I'm beginning to lose count of the number of times I've 'busted a gut' to get there on time, only to find an empty chapel.
I visited a church with a sign on the door proudly proclaiming 'morning prayer 08:30 (if door locked - no morning prayer)'
Brilliant!
