Save Me a Seat!Save me a seat! On Sunday, we had a pretty good turnout, but you wouldn't know it by looking at our YouTube video. For some reason, most of you like to sit in the back, as far away from me as possible. While I don't take this personally and understand that some people prefer to sit towards the back so they can exit quickly and quietly if needed, it does mean that those checking out our church online don't really get a sense of the congregation. It turns out that people respond better to fuller-looking churches. So I am asking those of you who can, to move up. As you can see from the photograph, there is a lot of room where you can sit and communicate to people online that this is a hopping place! We want to share the goodness of this church with others, and being intentional about where we sit and how we present ourselves online is one small way we can encourage people to engage with us.
Blessings,
Pastor Eilidh
