red alert

I ventured out to the "alternative" service at the Anglican church this morning with the Sheff bunch. The service itself takes place in the small chapel that was just recently added on to the giant church across from the beach. I love this space. I've mentioned it before with the Taize services there... It brings you to a place of worship just being there... the place feels set apart. That, and the floors are heated. I like that.
We were just about to get into everything when it happened.....
The heat had been turned up so high in the building, that the boiler room, after labouring away, gave up... and something burst. Not that we knew that.. but we did know that the fire alarm was bursting our ear drums.
Stage right, the evacuation. And outdoors, a continuation of our worship, while the firemen tramped about.
