Today's confirmation class was all about the Holy Spirit.We played a conveyor belt game of items that represent the Holy Spirit. We ate fruit while we reflected on which gifts of the Spirit we have in abundance and which we need to work on!
A lovely celebration of the resurrection along with a wonderful baptism as the rest of the congregation renewed our baptism vows. So fitting for Easter Sunday.
This morning, we reflected on how Mary of Bethany anointed Jesus with the costly perfume. She knew that Jesus was worth worshipping with all she had, she offered Christ public worship, pure devotion and sacrificial love. Is the fragrance of our devotion to Christ as obvious as Mary's?Thinking of the perfume she anointed Jesus with, the children had to guess what some different smells were.Then Freddie very kindly let the younger children wrap him in toilet roll like the grave clothes of Jeus. We thought about how Mary's anointing symbolised Jesus was a king and was to die for us.
Thank you to everyone who kindly helped us today at our first churchyard working party of the year. We tidied up and then enjoyed hotdogs.
