The best Present of all

Thanks to Nicola and Hamish who led us in a very creative service based on "Pass the Parcel".

We reflected on all the presents we received over Christmas and marvelled at the wonderful gift of Jesus our father God gave us.

And with that gift of Jesus we can all form a deep, meaningful and purposeful relationship with.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and look forward to seeing you in the New year.

Scouts on Sunday

Following on from our theme of "Relationships" , this month we covered "Relationships within our Community" and who better to do this but the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.

They created and lead the whole service from start to finish and even provided the BBQ (in the freezing cold). It was great to hear the testimony from a person who has been a scout leader for more than 30 years. The prayer time was also very interesting and interactive, we all had to make a knot and tie them together, until there was one long closed chain which symbolised our community in Winterslow

Over 100 people turned up of all ages and the service was well planned by Petra, Kay, Lesley and Jim...perhaps they would like to do another in the summer??

Friendship

FRIENDSHIP

Friendship is a priceless gift that cannot be bought nor sold.
But, its value is far greater than a mountain made of gold.
For gold is cold and lifeless, it can neither see nor hear.
In time of trouble its powerless to cheer.

Gold has no ears to listen, no heart to understand.
It cannot bring you comfort or reach out a helping hand.
So, when you ask God for a gift, be thankful if He sends,
not pearls, diamonds, or riches but, the love of real true friends.

By Muhammad Ali

As part of this semester we are looking into all types of relationships, at this service Tim lead us and we created a huge network map of all our friends in the village.



















It was interested to see how we are all connected....it should remind us all of Gods great purpose he has for us all.

Family Fortunes

This semester we are looking and learning about "Relationships", this weeks service we will look at "Relationships within our families".
