This morning I was at the local train station with two dozen others from the local churches. We were handing out free hot cross buns to commuters with details of local Easter services and, of course, contact details for the Christian Enquiry Agency.
It was a heart warming experience, for the simple reason that people were much nicer than I expected them to be! There were one or two very sceptical people that barely made eye contact if at all, but the vast majority of people were pleasantly surprised and more than happy to fill the time waiting for the train by munching away on a hot buttered bun. If nothing else this is a simply great way to raise the profile of the churches in the community. And judging by previous years, this activity repeated nationwide, will result in an influx of enquiries about the meaning of Easter.

Great idea, Gareth!
And excellent Easter message serviettes from CPO :-)

Sounds great. Sorry to have missed it... perhaps you could post me a free hot cross bun instead?
