Are you listening?

Hi guys!

Just thinking about what we got up to last Sunday. It was great to be with you lot again! We made a BIG mess with LOADS of glitter all over the crypt! Fantastic! Why not?

The Writing on the Wall story can seem a bit weird but I think it helps us to see how God can speak to us in so many different ways. Recently God's been doing some great stuff in my life and it's made me think more about how God touches us in different ways. Sometimes dreams, sometimes pictures, other times words, thoughts, ideas, feelings, things around us, bits of the Bible and so on. The point is that just because you don't hear or feel God like your friend or the people around you it doesn't mean He's not bothered with you.

God wants to talk to everybody!

No matter who they are or how old they are. God loves how we are all different and that's why God talks to us each in our own special way.

Here are some of the pictures you drew or painted about what you felt God was saying or what you thought was important. Fantastic stuff!

Baptism

Hello!

Just a quick note to let you know that I'm geting baptised next Sunday at the start of the 10:30 service! Although I've been a Christian for nearly six years now, for one reason or another I have never been baptised. But I have felt recently that God was calling me to be baptised and to commit my life completely to God. I am really quite excited at the thought of being born again and a little bit nervous beause my non-christian firends and family will be there to see everything - please pray for me and I hope to see you there!

Listening To God

Today in Children's Church we learned about the prophet Jeremiah and how God spoke to him through images of ordinary things such as a clay pot or a fig tree.

Today God also often speaks to people by giving them a picture or image of something either in a dream or vision or just as a thought that pops into their head. In children's church many of us have been asking God to speak to us more and for me it has been really exciting this week to hear stories of him doing this. Lets keep asking God for more and lets keep sharing our stories with each other and celebrate what God is doing
