God found me when I didn’t realise I was looking. ‘Holy Spirit you are welcome here!’

Awesome, Lorna.
The James Cantelon quote I used was:
Without my looking for him, or asking for him—
indeed, without any knowledge of my need of him—
God came looking for me, asking for me…

I really enjoyed Eddy’s contributions this morning. We looked at the three pictures and asked questions. ‘What if the glass wasn’t there?’ ‘I wonder whether he’ll go away again’. I love it that all ages can worship together here.

It is always amazing when a child speaks so profoundly. I think God spoke through Eddy yesterday 🙂

The paraphrase of John 12:10 was This is why I’m here: To track down the missing persons and reintroduce them to life. It was taken from The Word On The Street by Rob Lacy.

We looked at the parables of the lost sheep, lost coin and the Prodigal Son. These parables all appear in the same Chapter, which starts with the Pharisees and teachers of the law complaining of Jesus, ‘This man welcomes sinners and even eats with them.’
Someone wrote that these three parables are a message for ‘both Pharisees and sinners’. It’s good to remember that whether we’re more like one or more like the other, we still need to switch direction often and change our hearts and lives.

We talked about famous people we’d seen in real life, celebrities in ordinary places.
