Chocolate Teapots for Sunday 18th May

It all seemed to fit together today, we had a bit of a rammy, some noise, some reflection, a couple of disasters, big songs, band led, bad spelling, contemporary images of faith, and quite a relaxed atmosphere were folk just talked out informally. It was a good mix of what worship can be like.

There is of course the argument for a more formal, liturgical close harmony, more poetry and tradition and I'd agree with that too. But maybe that is for next week as we sit uncomfortably with the Trinity. If you thought Pentecost was difficult to describe then welcome to the Godhead. It's not even a biblical concept but something invented 2-3 hundred years later to stop heresy and folk journeying off into the realms and nonsense.

I'm not sure I've ever seen the Trinity as anything more than a roadmap. It's certainly not my experience of God. But then I can't exactly say what my experience of God actually is.

Anyway the passage is Genesis 1:1-2:4. A fabulous, fabulous, fabulous passage. Now how are we going to walk through this? What questions do you want to ask? How does it point us towards the Godhead? What aspects of God does it reveal?

And any images you think might help our weekly reflections? I bet there are a million.

Didn't get a chance to do so yesterday but I would just like to say how much I enjoyed the Pentecost service. I think that it was summed up in the fact that the wee chap(Nathan?), aged about 4, several rows in front clapped his way through all the songs involving the band. As a four year old he enjoyed being in church.
Says it all!
