Children's Liturgy Sunday July 30th 2006

Untitled Document
Today we use the colour blue. In the Gospel, the disciples cross the sea before Jesus gives food to the great crowd of people. He gives them what they need.
 
 
We have thought about the gifts God gives to us, what we are good at, and how we can give to the people around us. We have drawn or written about our gifts and put them in a present for God.
 

 
 
We have added the blue parts to our mosaic picture.
Each button or bead holds a memory of the person who wore them. All the beads together make the big picture. Everyone in the world matters- we do not see the picture without each other.
 
 
Today we celebrate the opening of the new Watermead Centre, where we can share God's gifts.. (We hope you like the Christening balloons!) Just as the blue sea links all the continents of the world, so we are all bound together when we share gifts to give glory to God.
The painter, Kandinsky, was the first to see music and colour could be used together. He said Art made the soul purer. We can think of our soul as our direct line to God.
 
the music played as the children returned to the main church was ' La Mer' (The Sea) by Charles Trenet.The song has been called a watercolour in words and music.
