I have been very troubled by all the hype surrounding Halloween this year, and for its effect on children and young people. I decided therefore, to hold a service of light in which everyone could take part, to show how Christians can live in the Light and reflect Jesus in the world, by showing the Good News of Jesus’ love for everyone.So what did we do? We began with lighting a large candle from which everyone was invited to light votive candles, and then actively searched around the hall for different kinds of light. Some were designed to show us the way, some were designed to be prepared, and of course there were Icons and Candles showing that Jesus is the Light of the World, who will never leave us. We wrote our practical plans on how we can show Jesus’ love in the world, and displayed the bright post it notes for all to see.
Our prayer time was a practical demonstration of Holman Hunt’s “Light of the World” – lantern and all! – and the St. Patrick’s breastplate prayer was used as a focus for our thoughts and all our songs were about light and love.
My prayer is that you will all carry Christ’s light and love into the world with you, where-ever you go.
Every blessing, Deacon Olivia.
