Heart promises

Yesterday as part of our service we pondered 'heart promises' and what they mean to us. As part of our prayers for others we joined in writing those in our hearts and minds on hearts that were then displayed at the front of the church.

We also contemplated the spiral, and were invited as a congregation to travel a spiral (in the style one travels a labyrinth) as the service went on around us. This connects back to our very first weeks of Lent, where we participated in a similar but different activity where we used the spiral as a metaphor for our journey from Lent last year to this year, contemplating the things that have changed and how very (or minimally) different life looks now.

Meanwhile, some of the kids (and young at heart) were outside helping Dan complete the geodesic dome. This has been a work in progress throughout the Lenten period and it was great to watch it slowly form. Well done to Dan and the kids for pulling this together, it looks fantastic!
