A Very Old Church

Yesterday, I took the kids to their church.  Paul often jokes about being an Anabaptist and yet sending his kids to Catholic schools and attending an Anglican church.  Such is life in London :)

Their church is beautiful.  I didn't take any pictures, but I'll have to go back sometime to do so.  The church was built in 12th century and is still an active church!  The pews we sat in were installed in the 1920s as a memorial to World War I.  Part of the church was destroyed by bombs in World War II and rebuilt after the war. We took communion during the service and it just amazed me to think about how many people have taken communion on this very spot.

And then we walked outside after the service and the boys were pretend sword fighting in the cemetery, climbing around on the tombstones.  Nine year old boys have no appreciation for history!
