It
was great to celebrate harvest in church yesterday with the help of Sami and
the team. Each of the services focused on our response to the provision that
God's creation provides. Each service had a slightly different approach, but
biscuits seemed to be a constant theme! The prayers and readings were delivered
in their usual imaginative way. Many thanks to Mrs Brewin, Mrs Marlow, Mrs
Orton, Mrs Shore and Mrs Pallet for pulling all these together and to the
children in their classes who delivered this aspect of the service with such
confidence and creativity.
The
gifts the children brought, filled the tables and we are very thankful for your
support in providing such a quantity of produce to share with the Open Hands
Charity and the Red Cross. harvest is certainly an example of making a
difference together in action!
Sharon
and Kate were as entertaining and thought provoking as ever. The parachute and
ball illustration was particularly powerful, a very visual example of how to
share things. In addition for the first time we had a drummer ( one of our KS2 children) to accompany Kate
and I with the music. She certainly set a driving rhythm behind the drum shields
and her contribution was certainly a big hit with everyone.
In addition we were able to present our last set of class lighthouses to our Foundation class teachers. These act as a daily reminder in our classrooms of the light that God brings into our own lives, but also calls us to share with each other.
It was another amazing afternoon!
