The Power and the Glory
On Sunday morning, wide areas of South East London suffered a power cut, following a major fire at an electricity sub-station in Sydenham. Hither Green Baptist Church was just inside the area affected. It meant some rearrangement was needed because our service normally relies on a lot of electricity, running lights, kettles for hot water and the PA system and amps.
We had to adjust plans and sing with acoustic instruments, using songs that didn't rely on projected lyrics. After allowing time for people to arrive, we decamped to Mountsfield Park and finished our service round the bandstand, enjoying the glorious weather.
We are grateful that our community has good resources, like the park, and to God, to whom is the power and the glory, for ever and ever, amen!
