This week, in our Morning Celebration service, we will be looking at the parable of the Good Samaritan, a story Jesus told to help us understand the commandment "Love your neighbour as yourself".  As usual the service will be modern and informal and will include refreshments both before and after the service.  Do come along, we'd love to see you.

Rock Solid - Sunday 3rd July

Rock Solid met last Sunday and explored the "Body of Christ".

We started with a fun game of foot pictionary.  Amazingly some of the foot scribbles did get guessed correctly.

Then we played a version of "pin the tale on the donkey" that showed us how the hands need the eyes/mouth and vice versa.


Next we thought about what we were good at and how we could serve others with those talents, making a shortbread body part to represent it e.g. good listeners made ears, good helpers made hands, errand runners made feet.


We put the parts together to make quite an interesting body, before eating him!


We made prayer chains praying for the future of the church and the parts we could play ourselves. Then we finished with this prayer:

Lord,
You have no hands but our hands to do your work today
You have no feet but our feet to lead men in your way
You have no tongue but our tongues to tell men how you died
You have no help but our help to bring them to your side.

We are the only Bible the careless world will read,
We are your last message, given in word and deed;
What if the type is crooked? What if the print is blurred?
What if our hands are busy with other work than yours?
Help us Lord to listen when you whisper in our prayers
Help us Lord to use our hands, our feet, our eyes and ears
And find the time to share your message with those we meet each day
Show them, tell them, love them, lead them, to follow in your way


Amen
