  • Three Services in One Week

    Once upon a time, any Baptist minister serving a Scottish church would prepare two Sunday services and one for midweek (often called a Bible study but it was really a serivce).

    When I began in full time ministry in Leicestershire, I used to prepare two full services every week... two sermons, two sets of intercessory prayers etc., etc.

    Nowadays I mostly have one service to prepare for, which keeps me more than adequately occupied.

    This week I have two church services and a funeral (non-church) to prepare.

    I can't say I am hankering for the old days, but I admire those who to this day prepare and deliver two or three fresh services every single week.  And that's without any occasional offices.

     

    One draft done, and one will get started this evening, all being well.
