advent beach huts - worship trick 46

every year there are wonderfully creative ideas for advent and lent. i don't know what it is about these two seasons but they are definitely the most creatively embraced by alt worship and emerging church. i always look forward to seeing who will come up with new ideas. well this year's craziest most brilliant idea i have come across is advent beach huts.

beyond are a community in brighton who look form their blog like their worship is a lot of fun and very creative. well for advent they have contacted owners of beach huts in brighton and every day through advent a beach hut owner will open their beach hut between 5:30 and 6:30pm in response to a christmas carol or theme. there is a list of which hut will feature on what day on the blog where they will also be posting a photo of each. i don't know if there are plans to open all the huts together at the end but that would be fun...

i really like it when groups are creating art stuff in public spaces like this. i'm notsure what the equivalent would be in ealing though... i am making this worship trick 46 series 3

this is a beautiful idea and must have taken alot of organising

an equivalent in an urban setting might be redundant shop fronts (i'm not sure what ealing is like but around my town there is an increasing number of premises for letting)

also partly inspired by the wrong gallery (you can google it)at the tate modern and originally in new york where just a shop doorway was used to present art to passersby

anyway i'll definately be popping into the beyond blog to see what people have be inpsired to produce

Ealing does have lots of empty shops at the moment!

as a bit of an aside (but following on from wonderfully creative ideas) anyone in london should try to pop along to wallspace - http://www.wallspace.org.uk - for possibly their best show of this year
