Steadfast

Do you know what steadfast means? 

Imagine an anchor holding a ship in place. ⚓ It is firm and fixed and reliable. We are told in these bible verses that this is what God's love is like. 

God wants us to know His love each and every day. This doesn't mean that there will be no problems in our lives but, instead, that He is there to help us through it.


A New Dawn

As you wake up in the morning it is a chance to start anew. Yesterday is gone and today is only here for one day.
  • What will you do today to make this a special day? 
  • Is there something you've been putting off? 
  • Where do you need change and refreshing?
Breathe in the new dawn and new day to realise God's faithfulness and that He is there for you when you call on Him.


Activities

Do Dawn.🌅🌄🌞 
One day try to be up to see dawn and realise the excitement of the gift of another day.

Sunshine hand print.
Use your hand to print a sunshine image. Keep turning the paper until there are finger rays all the way around the palm print sun.

Look out for God
Look out for a God moment today. An unexpected good event, a beautiful flower, a message from a friend. God wants you to notice Him in the ordinary and every day, not just the religious and ritual.



Prayer

In the 1971 musical Godspell (Stephen Schwartz), a prayer from St. Richard of Chichester is adapted to a create a simple prayer.

Day by day,
Dear Lord, of thee three things I pray:
To see thee more clearly,
Love thee more dearly,
Follow thee more nearly,
Day by Day.

May we pray this each day remembering His steadfast love and faithfulness. Amen.

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...
