An interesting Report - much the same could have been written of Our Place last Sunday, when numbers were a little low, a bit higher than St Silas, but also due to half-term (we expect this, and don't worry about it). The description of the service proper sounds very familiar!
We, too, use CDs occasionally (ripped onto a laptop computer, and sent through the speakers of our electronic organ), and it's hard sometimes to tell the difference between that, and a real live Human Being!
We had a number of children in church last Sunday, and two Young Gentlemen (both aged about 3) were a little noisier than usual. Did anybody mind? Not a bit of it!
BTW, our priest uses the hand-sanitiser after the Peace (which we have in the Roman Catholic position in the service - after the Lord's Prayer, and just before Communion). The lavabo is performed at the Offertory, as per usual. I have mentioned on another thread that our priest is withholding the chalice during the Coronavirus scare, which seems to make sense (and less work).
