Praise today

 

What is Praise?


The Oxford dictionary tell us that praise is expressing approval for someone or something or showing respect and gratitude, particularly towards God. Other words that can mean the same (synonyms) are worship, glory, exalt, honour.


We tell children 'well done' when we are pleased with them. 


We praise God because of who He is and what He has done. 


How do we praise?


We use songs and hymns in church to help us praise. Whilst we aren't at church there are loads of resources online, particularly YouTube.


🎜🎜🎝🎜🎜 These songs are good to remind us of all the amazing things God has done and who He is. King of Kings, Faithful One, Almighty, Saviour, and so many other names.
Many people find this the easiest way to express these ideas. 

But we don't have to sing to praise!
Maybe you are artistic and creative.

The Garden of Eden
Rainbow in the garden



The first picture was made at church in our Sunday school, Sunday Jam, and is a picture of the Garden of Eden and talks about God the creator.
The second picture is a rainbow I made in my garden and reminds us of Noah's Ark and the promises God made to never flood the world again.


Maybe you are good with words and like to write poems or stories. 
Or baking, or working, or ...
Everything we do can praise God if we thank Him that we are able to do it.


So if you can sing and dance and praise our wonderful, amazing God.

Harvest and thankfulness

    Harvest This coming Sunday we will be celebrating Harvest during our all-age service. I wanted to write you a poem or two to help us think about what harvest means to us today. It is a bit about food and all the fruit and vegetables we can pick and enjoy at this time of year. But, because most of us don't grow all of our food any more, it is also a chance to be thankful for all the good things we enjoy in our lives. Thankfulness What are you thankful for? It could be your family and the extra time you've had to spend with them this year. It could be that you are healthy and fit and are able to use that to help others. Maybe it is the place you live, or the community you are part of, or the beauty of our earth and universe. Even in the hard times we should try to be thankful for what God has given us. This isn't always easy but can mean that we become more aware of the goodness of God, instead of the problems of earth. Hebrews 13:15 15   Through Jesus, therefore, let u...

Time to say goodbye

 The End A funny way to start I know but this is my last blog for this page. After 16 years at Pershore Baptist Church I am stepping down as the Children's worker. What an amazing time I have had.  We have run so many events and activities over the past decade and a half and I have met soooooo many families and children that I have lost count, and definitely forgotten a lot of names. Blessed When we moved to Pershore I wasn't sure what the future held. I was pregnant and not working, and I didn't know anyone in town. But I joined the church and soon made friends.  When we began Little Fishes, little did I know I would still be involved in the Children's work this many years later. God has blessed me and allowed me to grow and develop in this ministry. He has given me the chance to get to know the people and town of Pershore and to be a part of your lives. Thank you I cannot really begin to say a proper thank you to everyone who has been a part of my life over these 16 y...

Creative Creator

Creator God is amazing, with an amazing imagination. I love reading and I love it when an author creates a whole world, like Middle Earth or Narnia. The imagination it must take is incredible. So what does it take to imagine a whole universe and then, not just write about it, but actually make it exist. WOW! Created If God is the creator, we are the created, made by Him. And He knows us inside out because we are special to Him. Have you made anything special? A picture or painting, maybe a pot made of clay or something with Lego. You want to keep your special thing safe and make sure it doesn't get broken. God wants us to be safe and doesn't want us hurt or broken. Creative We have a gift from God and that is creativity. We are made to make things. I find that wonderful and I love to express my creative side. I like to hand sew decorations and accessories. What is your favourite way to create?  I have listed quite a few in the chart but I know that you'll have loads more cr...
