Tonight I did Evensong. I had several bits of paper to dole out, readings, hymn numbers, baptism applications etc. I put them all together and on getting to church handed them out.
As I had my quiet moments in the vestry I realised I'd lost the sermon. It was not with any of my papers so I rushed around checking all the papers I'd given out earlier . No sign of it.
Going back into the vestry I jotted down the points hastily.
After we'd got as far as the Magnificat a piece of paper fluttered to the ground.
It was found!
When I finally got up to preach I was able to tell the congregation two things.
First I'd found it.
Second the subject was on lost things. Sheep, cold coins etc.
I couldn't make it up. Losing a sermon on the subject of lost articles was rich even for me!
