had a good time in blackpool at the mayc weekend. (as someone commented in an earlier post there was a lot of yellow and green in evidence!). the workshop on alt worship was well attended. and the communion service we did went fantastically well…

i said for people there that i would put a list of music tracks etc that we used on here… so in terms of what we did, here is the order of service (pdf file). the structure of the service follows the 4 sections of a methodist communion service but takes karen ward’s idea of renaming of sections of the litugry as described by shane. the component parts are sourced as follows:
