riverside festival: Sunday

Saturday was bright, clear and sunny - indeed, it was the hottest day of the year so far. Early on Sunday, though, it's raining so heavily that it sets off car alarms in our street! I don't envy anyone who's setting up for the day at the Riverside Festival.

We finally get back into the swing of things late morning. Highlight of the day is a Pub Quiz (I'm sure they mean "Pop Quiz", since it's not actually in a pub) hosted by Presence. Harry, Grace and I win! Our prize is a small garden gnome, which Harry names "Steve" (photo above)

While the kids occupy themselves with various bits of colouring and so on, I talk to people on the Presence stall and find out more about them. They describe themselves as offering a fresh approach to church in Leicester mainly for postmodern young adults, people in apartments and students living along the waterfront and the edge of the city centre. They've been mandated by Bishop Tim to be a church in every sense, except having a church!
