Candles and lanterns abounded and songs about Jesus
being the Light of the world were sung with heart and soul by nearly 70
worshippers - an extraordinary morning.
We sang ‘The earth was dark’ immediately followed by ‘Colours of Day’.
We had great fun with ‘Jesus’ love is very wonderful’ and then we made lanterns
– yes we added cut out yellow candle flames (which I have to admit looked a bit
like rabbit ears!).
We spoke of Simeon by using an interactive version
of the story in Luke 2. ,sang ‘Light of the World’ and then made a Giant Candle
of Hope to which we added our messages of Faith, Hope and Love for 2013 which
will be displayed in church – keep your eyes open, for you can’t miss it when
it goes up!
We talked of how we can be mirrors of Jesus’ love
in the world and closed our morning by singing ‘Shine Jesus Shine’ while the big
people waved (very carefully) their little candles around and the children
jumped up and down with their paper lanterns. As we didn’t have our hands free
for the clapping bit in our last song, we were all stamping our feet. What a wonderful time of worship.
Every blessing and much joy to you all for 2013.
Deacon Olivia.
