On tap refreshments…

Times for worship and fellowship…
Come for as long or short a time as you wish.Church has never been like this!
So the invitation reads. I live in a farming village where we get to share one vicar with three other rural villages. We all belong to the Junction 9* Benefice, thanks to the creativeness of our diocese (Anglican).
Liquid Church will meet this Saturday evening for the first time at the parish church in the village where our vicar lives.
Our vicar’s village has three pubs, one of which is across the road from the church and is a great place to park on Sunday mornings. Our village has only two pubs – and neither close by enough to park at. All that wasted space on a Sunday morning! Certainly doesn’t deter our dear vicar who so looks forward to finishing off the Eucharist wine at all four churches. ('O churl! ...and left no friendly drop to help me after?')We’re curious.
If you received the same invitation through your door slot, what would your first impression be? And if you’ve attended a Liquid Church, what was your experience like?
