So a few weeks ago I lead worship for a wedding. The couple were getting married in a beautiful old Anglican church in the countryside and we arrived early to set-up the sound system and run through the songs.

Last Sunday we ran a joint youth event with St Margaret's Angmering and St Peter & St Paul's Rustington called iWorship. The purpose was to hang out, have a meal and worship together allowing a chance for the youth to get to know young Christians from the other churches. It was a great event and we had a lot of fun together.
