‘I won’t dance – don’t ask me!’ Good for pantheists, though.

Having a congregation too big for one's church is the stuff dreams are made of, for most of us!
'SUNDAY EVENINGS 6:30pm Word Alive in the church. Word Alive includes a mixture of worship styles, with a more extended sermon based on a passage from the Bible. We share Holy Communion regularly (please refer to calendar for dates.)'
Worth a visit, though, perhaps.
A certain Vicar, at the Church of my Yoof, used to preach for over 45 minutes at the evening service.
I know this, because I looked my watch when he started, and looked at it again when Mrs BF woke me up, as he finished.
I kid you not.
But maybe they're going for interactive times of teaching, with discussion groups, plenary sessions, cutting things out with scissors, drawing on big bits of paper with crayons...
