Yesterday in church we celebrated the Ascension of Jesus
into heaven and thought about the fact that Jesus is still with us in our
everyday lives. We also considered the day to day impact of the gift of
His Holy Spirit and how this makes a difference in our relationship with God
and with each other.
The illustration used to demonstrate the Ascension was quite
original! I am not sure that I have ever seen a picture of Jesus stuck to a
STOMP rocket and then fired up into the church ceiling! It certainly will
be a lasting memory and one that the children will undoubtedly be talking about
at home today.
It was also great to have members of our brass group playing
at the start and end of the services, as well as having readings and prayers from
our year 1 and year 2 classes and year 5. As ever the
contribution of the children makes our services very special indeed.
