Some other things
we have been thinking about:
The gifts God has given
us
We looked at the letter from Paul to the Corinthians
where he said that God gives lots of different gifts
but it is always the same God. The younger ones of
us explored this by creating ‘God’s Toolkit’.
This was done by decorating templates of hammers,
screwdrivers, saws and spanners and writing their
talents on them. The older ones of us looked at how
we could help other people and came up with the idea
of holding a sponsored sleepover and supporting a
charity.
Jeremiah and how age doesn’t
matter
We illustrated this in drama by acting out how Jeremiah
was asked to be a prophet even though he was quite
young.
What we need to grow
The younger Sunday School classes looked at what we
need to grow and compared ourselves with trees. God's
message of ''anyone who depends on people rather than
God will have a hard time. They will be like a dried
up shrub with no water; trying to live somewhere that
does not give them what they need, whereas people
who trust in God are like trees rooted in solid earth.''
Examples of trees in the wilderness compared with
fruit trees in an orchard were explored in a collage
and seeds were planted and taken home for the care
and attention that is needed. Modern day temptations
were discussed along with abstinance over Lent.
Intercessions (prayers)
for the 4th March
Please help all religions to live together
in peace. To get those in charge to talk together
to stop all the wars. Please let us pray for all those
in authority. Our teachers, who need patience to put
up with us when we misbehave, wisdom to help us with
our tests and kindness in supporting us in our new
schools. Alice
Let us pray for the church and for the world, and
let us thank God for his goodness. We pray for all
those who are suffering in wars, and for those who
live in less fortunate countries than us. We thank
God for food, and pray for those who don’t have
as much food as us. Please look after all our neighbours
in Hampton Hill, our neighbours in Europe, Asia, America,
Antarctica, Africa and Australasia. Help us all to
live together in peace and to help one another. Emma-Lee
Please make those who
are sick more comfortable. And give strength to those
who have friends or relatives who are sick. We pray
for (names taken from the book on the altar). We also
pray for those who have recently died and give comfort
to those who mourn.
Isobel
We hope that our new vicar will settle into his new
parish and that we will help him to feel at home.
We hope his dog, Paddy, will also be happy in his
new home. Laura
Please give strength to those who care for us, our
mums and dads, our childminders, our older brothers
and sisters, and our grandparents. Help them to be
kind and gentle, but also to show us right from wrong.
Please give strength and wisdom to the police who
are having a difficult time with all the gun crime.
Olivia
We thank you for the world we live in, and all that
we enjoy from the riches of the earth. Let us pray
for the environment, the prevention of global warming
and climate change. We pray that all leaders will
come together and be united in this goal. Stella
