Getting to the Church on Time #eckington 9

Churches aren’t really equipped for modern-day life. After all, they were built hundreds of years ago in the heart of the community so they didn’t really account for people driving to and from their services. They would focus on the people around them, and envisioned that most people would be able to propel themselves from their homes to the church. Other countries have planned communities for these buildings so are able to incorporate a car park into their construction plans. But here, if there’s a big event then it can be a real scramble to find a spot outside. You best get there early unless you’re still walking or you may find that you still have a bit of a walk even if you’re driving. It could be a great opportunity to make friends with the local pub landlord or the neighbours who might have a space on their land.
