A place to share and chat about our funny (and not so funny experiences) in and out of church.
Did anyone say coffee? That would be good Brew

Sorry I haven't been in lately!
I have no excuses, mea culpa.

MHD I didn't ignore your post, I've only just seen it.
Dd and I are going with the Other Church lot, so we'll all be in a village together.
I've just sent you a pm on fb about meeting up (that's provided I've matched mn name with fb name.... I always panic about that! Shock )

Hello arti and MurielI think

we seem to be a bit heavy on the graham kendrick side right now. I'm enjoying mhd 's slooooow conversion to the organ. Grin

nickelbeingnormal · 01/07/2017 11:24

Can we make the fb group secret please?
Then we could have a list of who is who without worrying about being discovered.
I'm in.
Has it been set up yet?

nickelbeingnormal · 01/07/2017 11:27

Well done blink Grin

Shame you can't do facebook, BES , your vagueing sounds perfect for a secret group!

nickelbeingnormal · 01/07/2017 11:33

I've just pmd Edd

Dutchoma · 01/07/2017 12:53

I think the FB group is already secret.

nickelbeingnormal · 01/07/2017 18:11

Cool.
Please will you add me?

Madhairday · 02/07/2017 08:55

Yes I started it as secret. I'll add you nickel Smile

Conversion to organ-love may be somewhat strong Grin I've simply found myself somewhat appreciating the majesty of it a few times lately (including my brother's ordination yesterday - very powerful - it was Radio 4s morning service this morning if anyone wants to catch any of it) but I wouldn't say it was going to be my New Fandom Grin

Can't wait to see you at NW nickel Smile are you tenting or caravanning?

Lissette · 02/07/2017 15:48

Hope all went well at the ordinations and that there were wonderful celebrations!

nickelbeingnormal · 02/07/2017 22:55

Grin yeah, you love it!

We're in a tent. Should be a good laugh....

Madhairday · 04/07/2017 10:52
Grin

There are no organs to be found at NW, I'm afraid...

Let's hope the weather's good!

nickelbeingnormal · 04/07/2017 13:19

I know - we'll be escaping to Wells on the day off.

I hope the weather's good, too. I don't like rain when I'm in a tent.

Madhairday · 04/07/2017 14:46

You can come shelter in my caravan Grin

Wells is lovely!

nickelbeingnormal · 04/07/2017 19:22

I will do Grin

There's a course on "making your church autism friendly" in two weeks (18th july), which I'm going on (it's an alm top-up course but you don't have to do alm to do it).
My big fear is two-fold. 1: that someone from that church attends (and I have to deal with them being there). And 2: that noone from that church attends (and thus prove that they aren't interested in learning at all)
It was in the diocese bulletin, and I asked the admin of Other Church to email the details to everyone in the benefice (including saints)(which she did). So there's no excuse that they didn't know about it.

bootygirl · 07/07/2017 13:52

Guys
I did comment on one of the older threads before but fell off! Clumsy me 😂

I was raised RC have converted to CoI. Went to CoI school, reasonably active in the church. On select vestry... just now realising church politics is well......
Have to say I like the organ & traditional hymns (I was on choir in my teens) & we just got screens! Our church is slow to move with the times.
I also like happy clappy too.
Will be chased off tread for this.... who is Graham Kendrick?? 😳
I am in my mid forties.

If you let me stay mines a soya latte in a large Cath kitson mug! I ll make my own 😂

Just downloaded 2 of the fox novels!

bootygirl · 07/07/2017 13:55

Forgot to say New Wine is in our city next week. I ll be going to the first night for sure as it's free! Not sure I can afford to go to rest of it though.

Dutchoma · 07/07/2017 14:13

BlackeyedSusan · 07/07/2017 15:05

is that for you diocese nickel? (tha autism thing)

BroomstickOfLove · 09/07/2017 22:22

It's been swarming with bishops round here as the General Synod is held a short walk from my house. I was tempted to crash the Kate Fox book signing but resisted.

Niminy · 10/07/2017 11:16

I would have been tempted too Broomstick, especially if there was a chance to buy a 'I'd rather be in Lindchester' mug as well.

I'd love to go to Wells. My DH was there recently recording the cathedral choir for a film soundtrack and I was most Envy

Doublegloucester · 10/07/2017 20:02

Is there a word for a group of bishops?!!

Nickel, I would like to do that course, wonder if it runs in different dioceses?

I now have another mn thread to join... An antenatal one! Only 5 weeks gone so not really public irl but yay!

Niminy · 10/07/2017 20:45

Double that's lovely news! Congratulations!
