In the back of the Town Hall, where once the pictures showed every Friday night, a handful of the faithful gathered. Seated on the picture theatre pews, (sets of 3 seats) we celebrated Trinity Sunday.
But it was the unexpected guests who stole the show
.
We sang to guitar with gusto....and the sounds of a mouse's scampering feet on 1960's linoleum, a scarab beetles writhing and the bleating of a tethered goat outside, added to our chorus. Unfortunately they didn't stop during prayers and reflective silence!
We broke bread for communion, just allowing a few crumbs to land on the floor, so the tiniest members of our congregation might receive some blessed sacrament too. Perhaps the remnant loaf should have been tossed to the bleating member outside.
We remembered the hospitality of the Triune God towards the 6 humans and 3 known creatures who gathered. Thanks be to Father, Son & Holy Spirit: Beetle, Mouse & Goat
