We had a special time watching our Children's Church children contributing to our coming Good Friday church service. They were formed into eight teams and each team was given a particular part of the Passion Story to draw on A2 Cartridge paper supplied. Afterward, each team was commended for a wonderful effort. The composition and elements of the eight 'Stations of the Cross' were briefly discussed and then they were left to their own devices. The outcomes were very encouraging. As children from Christian families and undoubtedly having heard the story of the Crucifixion of Jesus numerous times, they were up to the task. Each team was represented by three or four children and it was interesting, for us adults, to see the particular perspective coming through on each image.
These Stations of the Cross images, the children have drawn, will be placed on the walls of the main church on Good Friday, and the church family will focus on them in a reflective procession past each one, as a way of following Christ our Redeemer and King to the cross and beyond.
