Here is a slightly amended report of the first service which I sent to Sunday Assembly International.
Sunday Assembly High Wycombe Report.
11th October 2015
On Sunday we had our first Sunday
Assembly High Wycombe event.
We were very pleased with how our
service went, from about twenty minutes before the room started to
fill up, the enthusiastic “Love bombers” from SA London were some
of the first to arrive and before long we were packing 40 people into
quite a small space!
I gave a very brief introduction, then
the Sunday Assembly Reading band, who kindly provided the music for
our first event, went straight into Walking on Sunshine, and the
energy in the room just lifted!
I then explained what Sunday Assembly
was all about, using the motto (Live Better, Help Often, Wonder More) and then we went into a
short audio story that introduced our theme, which was “Overcome”.
We sang Close to You and had our talk from Kathryn Taylor, She hit just the
right tone and was very moving and personal.
After another song Gemma did
a ”Doing her best” segment, which fitted the theme and was very
amusing, then a moment of silence, and a chance for the congregation
to greet each other.
Notices were simply an appeal for
people who would like to help and join the team, especially for the
music, and then we sang a final song (The Bare Necessities), which
was great fun, and after a quick thanks to everyone we were mingling
and drinking tea and eating cakes.
Just 4 weeks now to get the next event together...
