Feet 2

Interesting that I should post our amazing footfall through our biggest church at the same time as Peter Brierley should be predicting massive falls in church attendance in the next thirty years. Around here people seem not to have noticed that people have stopped going to church in the big cities. We will expect up to one third of the total population to attend a service over Christmas. Hats off to our volunteer stewards who have kept pace with all the scene-shifting, welcoming, and hoovering involved in the last few weeks. We have had our moments; not everyone has kept their temper; it's been like running a small theatre or concert hall, with half a dozen volunteers and no storage for the props; but we're nearly there now, and expect another couple of hundred or more for our Christingle Service on Christmas Eve, and then again at Midnight.
