Circuit Away Day
The Challenge of 21^st Century Church

Saturday 12^th April

John Peace Over 50 key people from the Ashby and Coalville Circuit travelled to Melbourne Methodist Church to attend the circuit away day. As the coach travelled around the Circuit picking people up along the way, the buzz of expectant chatter filled the air by people looking forward to a productive day.

After some worship songs to start the day off, Roger Johnston, District Evangelism Enabler, showed a video clip of the well known character, Mr Bean, attending church for the first time. The gist of the clip was that Mr Bean didn’t know what to do whilst in church – he didn’t know where to find a hymn book, he didn’t know when to stand up and sit down, he found the sermon boring and fidgeted with sweet papers and he nearly fell to sleep. However, the clip showed that no one had welcomed Mr Bean and explained to him what to do and certainly no one was prepared to help him out during the service. The experience was completely alien to someone from outside the church environment! This was a good start to set the scene for the day.
