I may live to regret this, but I’ve started a second facebook account for church links.

This means I can keep a bit of private space on my first account, but still chat with the young church if they wish.

I have promised them a nice calm service next week, but it is good to know that anything is possible.

Update:  no, they weren’t just decorations…   Some notes on the service below.
