St Clement’s is getting decorated over the next few weeks and so yesterday a work party finished off the preparatory tidy up, including removing some notice boards and loose furnishings. This morning I was struck by what an audible difference it made to the sound in the church, which had much more of a ring.

Not great for amplified music but fantastic for me, getting an opportunity to preach this morning on John 11. ‘Wake up, Lazarus’ I boomed as I strode down the aisle to begin my talk and boom I did. Glorious!
