A brand new style of worship here in Walmersley
In JANUARY initial concerns that Storm Chandra may upset arrangements were misplaced.
The day cleared, the fire was lit and after the story we tried for ourselves the effects
of building houses on rock and sand.
We moved indoors for 'sand'wiches and 'rock' cakes before jumping around as we sang
about the wise and foolish builders.
The adults agreed a WhatsApp group would be useful - so please ask to join
our campfire community
building on a rock building on the sand
when the rains came down! 'rock' cakes to enjoy
In DECEMBER with some dressed as angels and shepherds
we considered the story of the first Christmas
And enjoy smores and hot chocolate!
In NOVEMBER we explored 'light' - with light sticks - and
enjoyed decorating biscuits with bright, colourful icing,
each fire-shaped biscuit a reminder of how we can shine God’s love into the world.
In OCTOBER we heard (and enacted) the parable of the sower, sowed seeds to take home
and toasted bread on the campfire or rolled dough around sticks to make dampers
- there was even butter and jam!
Some lively singing too.
and the seeds took root and grew - as one person has shared here:
Lots of flames at the first CAMPFIRE CHURCH in September, where we focussed on "thankfulness"!
