St Lawrence’s Church.....the inside. by happypat

St Lawrence’s Church.....the inside.

They have taken some of the pews out on the right hand side to make room for various church events....seems to be the way now...church is much more relaxed & informal I believe.
The brown paper bags you can see on the table were all labelled with the age group & called Messy Church. I think any child could take away a bag in their age group.
We noticed the church smelt really lovely, a very subtle scent & there was music playing quietly.
The last of the church shots!!

Three good things:
1. Meet up with the plumber first thing & I've been to have a first look at tiles.
2. I took the door knocker to the firm making the windows & doors. He said two to three weeks for the windows!
3. A chocolate eclair!

Ooh I know they seem to do this these days - but I still like to see a Church or Chapel with the pews - makes it look more comfortable and safe - and I suppose its the familiarity of it all . Not had a very good day from the start , welcoming 2 strange men upstairs while still in my dressing gown !! Gary to Dr - for dressings on his legs -cellulitis , Shopping , finding a rat under the bird table scoffing all the spilt seeds , phoning a pest control man - Never had rats when I had terriers ! -- exhausted ! * glad to have that off my chest ! ha !

So sad that churches are no longer the hubs of activities that they traditionally have been. At least the buildings are getting used.

What a beautiful church. Yes we have messy church at our church. It's not running at the moment but we did give out bags at Christmas and at Easter.

I have to admit I do prefer traditional church. I don't think the red chairs do a good job of modernising a church. They just look wrong somehow.

Beautiful old architecture. It looks so different than expected with the missing pews. But I like that they've made room for community activity. The atmosphere is so welcoming and inclusive. And I love that it had such a wonderful fragrance...not musty and dusty. It must be a delightful congregation at St. Lawrence.
