Putting together the candelabra
Getting the candles (literally - I mean getting in a car and going to the wholesalers because we couldn't find the candles!!!)
Putting the the candleabra up
Providing and putting out minced pies (and handing them round after the service)
Making the mulled wine (and passing it round after the service)
Cutting and putting out cake
Setting out the chairs
Making the building presentable
Making tea and coffee for those who didn't want mulled wine
Doing the powerpoint transitions and sound
Singing the carols
Doing the readings
Doing the prayers
Playing the piano
Chatting to people and being available for questions and the offering of help
Washing up, clearing away and making the room generally presentable again
The service went well and at its close someone said to me how nice it was to come to a church service that was so easy to be part of and to set up. I guess the image of the serene swan gliding across the water whilst underneath the legs were paddling furiously holds true.
So Thank you all those who did their part to bring Christmas to others where I am and across the Church (universal) for without so many others giving what they do we'd be in a sorry place.
Pax
