“Jesus calms the storm”
Mark 4:35-41
Today, our songs, worship and prayers were based around the reading and made for calm and a quiet meaningful start to what was the last session for the next few months, as we all take a chance to refresh and renew.
The central aisle was decorated with fabrics representing water and a rather striking boat which announced the theme.
There were several water based activities:
Origami boats with a range of difficulty and complexity. So many rose to the challenge and a colourful selection resulted.
The free painting opportunity to create seascapes was joyfully accessed and paint and water flowed across the paper with stunning results and much satisfaction.
The pillows for Jesus to lay his head were beautifully embroidered and decorated, please see the picture gallery.
Drawing and colouring and creative writing were also available giving more opportunities for quiet discussion and thought.
A highlight was the music making with percussion listening to each other and making sounds to reflect storms and tranquillity was for some a moving experience and left us all with a sense of achievement and unity.
A time for sharing our work was an essential part of the end of the morning and after prayer we enjoyed either mushroom or “enhanced” vegetable soup (or both!)
We meet to start a new series of Kingdom Arts on Tuesday September 11th with coffee at 9.30 when we all hope to welcome you again.
