Just returned from celebrating a friend's birthday in Beverley.
Included a visit to Beverley Minster for the Palm Sunday service as our friends are the vicar and his wife. The service included a donkey derby with a live donkey crash.
The front legs were formed by a brownie blindfolded with a donkey mask and then steered by another youngster as the back legs. Two rival teams competed round the congregation but one set of back legs had defective steering and crashed the blindfolded brownie into a stone pillar.
Only a bloody nose resulted.
(I thought there was only one donkey in the Palm Sunday story.)
I returned the following day to look at the examples of prayer stations set up for 24/7 prayer throughout the week leading up to Easter. Have a look at the photos on Flickr.
The Beverley Minster network of churches includes a
fresh expression of church known as the Minster Way.
The work to build community in a recent housing develoment to the north
of the town includes a listening service based in a health centre.
