Report on 5 Alive: The Stories that Shape us – Endings and Beginnings
If it’s 8th November, Fireworks can’t be far away particularly when Elijah went off to Heaven in a Chariot of Fire! So on a very wet night, one of Standard Fireworks big ones filled the night sky just so that we could watch and think of what it was like to see Elijah leave!
The Dramatic reading of 2 Kings 2:1-11 was accompanied at the appropriate moment with the adults singing the tune to “Chariots of Fire”! Multi-sensory or what!
Reading from Acts 1:1-11 we thought about Jesus’ ascension and reflected on:
We looked at a Passage from Brian McLaren and then went into a Prayer activity. A Notice board had been covered with huge speech bubble containing the words ‘Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer’. We handed out post-it note speech bubbles and invited people to think of the planet, religious violence, families and communities, themselves, and write two things – ‘what you want Jesus to do’ and ‘what I will do’ to move towards healing and strength in these areas.
With DVDs and Music the 30+ people present had fun, got wet and shared together!
What Is Prayer?… How Do We Pray?… Does Prayer Work?…
Ever asked yourself any of these questions?… Is this YOU?…
…then come and join in a Day Of Prayer
exploring ways of praying together as a community.
Time spent with God is never wasted.
Yet many of us experience frustrations in our prayer life.
Whether you are new to prayer or have been praying for years,
come and enjoy this prayer time together, with each other, and with God.
As part of our time together we are delighted to welcome
Father George Guiver CR in leading this Day of Prayer.
Father George is the Superior at the Community of the
Resurrection Mirfield, he’s a Priest, theologian and liturgist and has written extensively on the subject of prayer.
