Not just Ed & me

It was beginning to look like a repeat of last week, with hardly any of the kids present and only one of the torch-bearers (Lucifers). So Deacon Ed and I decided we'd do it ourselves again, I lit the candles (including the torches in-place), got the cross and headed outside.

There, at three minutes before the service (Deacon Ed is quite punctual), Lucinda announced that all today's servers were present (she'd rounded them up, bless her) and robed in the Sunday School building. So we got the torches and headed over for the prayer before the procession.

Our new Crucifer was a little uncertain about what to do for the Gospel procession, so I walked alongside to guide him. Perfect job!
