Was good fun, though the poor weather probably put a few folk off from venturing out.  The broadcast was good though some of the interviews were a little verbose - to the extent that the bishop was cut short, two carols reduced and one axed inorder to avoid an overrun.  Such are the perils of live broadcasting.  Though I doubt they'd have had the same qualms had it been football or cricket...

The good news - around a third of those who came to the event don't go to church, though all had a vague link with one or other of our churches (four were from our lunch club).

So, around 40 of us for an hour's service followed by another hour of food and fellowship, and we raised £50 for charity on the way.  Not bad for an evening's work.

Highlights of the broadcast - the shepherds' rap and the bishop's talk.

Highlights of the evening - seeing 'John' from lunch club who has lots of problems welcomed and affirmed by church folk, and 'Kim' who came with her ten year-old son.

If this was repeated all over the county, well, then I think God smiled.
