"Church"

Church is still a big issue for us.
We seem to have joined the ever growing numbers of post-EPC's.
Penny has never enjoyed church, in the sense of the corporate gathering to sing and listen to a sermon, and so is happy not to "attend" anywhere.
She doesn't get it. For her church is about relationship.
For me? Well I kind of see the value in having a building to meet in which can be used as a focal point to serve the community. "Doing Church" without a building is hard work and often invisible.
I so well remember the problem of actually finding a house church. You knew there was one in the area but which house?!
Penny can't sing to save her life, so corporate "worship" has always excluded her, been an embarrassment and something to be got through.
For me on the contrary I really miss playing in a worship band. Hardly compatible are we?
I've been going to Brookside a fair bit, both on Sundays and for the odd band practice.
About time I emailed Steve Prince I suppose and had a chat with him about whether I'm in, out or shouldn't worry about it.
