Spiritual Ambassadors

We had a wonderful visit to St Peter's with our Spiritual Ambassadors. We reflected on the parable of the Mustard Seed and what it meant to us, such as something small can grow into something strong and special. Father Stuart set us a challenge of creating our own parable using the sentence starter 'The kingdom of Heaven is like...'.

We had interesting ideas including The Kingdom of Heaven is like a shoe as it grows with you and protects, also a shopping trolley as it starts empty but as you go around the shop you start to fill it with lots of different and lovely things.

We are also looking forward to our Spiritual Ambassadors sharing their performance with us in worship on Monday. This was something they had asked to do as they wanted to be more involved in our daily worship.
