As seems to be normal these days, a mixed bag. First is an all-age talk on God’s kingdom, based on the Canaanite woman of Mathew 15. It includes printable PDFs for the ‘paper magic’ and a vague suggestion of a talk (which I didn’t stick to very much). There’s also a video of me in … More Underpants fit on your Head! (dyk?)
Another bumper selection for you! Below is a reflection on Genesis 32 and your lectionary-linked liturgy. But also we have a number of intergenerational packs (and remember that intergen does not mean ‘for the kiddies’) and the awesome sketch, How the Feeding of the 5000 Really Happened with video! Oh yes! Resource Links Life Sticks … More Gen 32 What’s in a Name? + Feeding 5000
A bit of a mixture today – links below for lectionary-based resources, and your liturgy at the bottom, of course, but the major part of this week’s post is an all-age illustration of Jesus’ transfiguration. It comes with a fab demo which can be used for all sorts of occasions and Bible texts. There’s a … More Matt 13 and Paper Magic!
Reflecting and Doing What am I cut out for? We often use phrases like, “I’m not cut out for this!” when we are in a situation that does not suit us. (Me, trying to make a touch-down in rugby, for example.) This activity helps us to think about how we can adapt our (less-than-perfect) selves … More Cut it Out! Gen 24
It’s been a busy old week here, Chez Fay. In the last week and a bit, I’ve written two blogs posts, a ‘Thought for the Day’, an intergen slot on Elephant Toothpaste and a sermon on Trinity, plus revising an academic paper and writing 15,000 word of draft for the children’s book series I’m writing. … More Ex 19, Ps 100 + Trinty Sermon
Reflections on Hosea 5:15-6:6 I don’t know about you, but sometimes the language of the Old Testament can seem a bit … brutal? “God has torn us,” the people say, “he has struck us down.” And God agrees: “ I have hewn them,” “I have killed them.” It all sounds very Old-Testament-Angry-God, doesn’t it? Part … More Every Viewpoint is a View from Point

Your liturgy resources are at the bottom and links to other items here. I did have a razzle-dazzle drama script and video to post, but that seemed inappropriate given the tone of this week’s reflection, so I’ll leave those to another time. Peace be with you. Fay xx My Way Home – Look, See, Pray … More My times are in your hand – Psalm 31
After a wonderful two weeks of no lessons, daughters home from uni and my own body-weight in chocolate, it’s back to normality today. But let’s not be like the disciples who returned to fishing after the resurrection, or the un-named pair on the road to Emmaus who thought the wonderful dream was all over. Sure … More Wassup? Lk 24
