This afternoon many of our church's 'next generation' will be in the building rehearsing for their puppets presentation next Saturday. These kids really are the next generation of a well loved Melbourne Street tradition and if my daughter is anything to go buy they are enjoying themselves. Our older youth are also practicing a dance routine, another popular tradition revived.
What has always drawn the community into our church looks likely to draw them in again, the difference now of course if that we can accommodate 170 people instead of the 100 the old building could manage.
Some things will change of course with our new high street location we are better suited to providing all sorts of day time activities which will attract passing footfall. Our new Tuesday coffee morning start in September and I'm sure these will provide a welcome break for passers by.
