It's not your normal "church"...

....but there is a pew, and there is a community, and there is a congregation, and there is fellowship. There are no bells, but there is a fire siren to let people now to congregate.
Tonight was the first evening "church" this summer, lakeside at Tarawera.
Such a balmy evening to sit around and enjoy everyone's company and catch up at the start of the holiday season. It is going to be a great summer.
The extra is a shot later in the evening as the last light hit the mountain and the sky closed in. It wasn't long before the spits of rain sent everyone home....mind you it was 8pm!
