Off to Great Missenden to Preach! They've given me this as a title,
"Reading the Culture, Christianity for real teenagers" Should be fun (bizzarely however, I was told on Friday that, none of the teenagers will be in Church during the talk!)
What's the risk? Well, I'm taking my 9 year old son with me, he has an unusual but distinctive AND loud voice (he has Cerebral palsy). The last time I took him to a preaching gig he managed to reduce the whole Church to laughter by heckling from his wheel chair in the aisle with an immaculately timed, exasperated, "HURRY UP!" half way through the sermon!
I'm hoping that I've convinced him not to heckle, throw things or wheel himself out during this one! I'll let you know.
I hope you're keeping a record of all these quotes - especially Ellieisms to use on her wedding day :-D
