Description
These resources are adapted from the material originally made available as part of the Holiness and Humanness series. Designed to be used over six weeks, the Call to Worship, the Holiness and Humanness song and the Interactive Prayer of Confession are the same for each week (nothing wrong with intentional repetition when it comes to gathered weekly worship). The extra resources this week comprise one Creative Bible Engagement suggestion and one Creative Prayer Engagement idea based on Hebrews 10:11-14.
Sometimes highlighting the words in a bible passage that begin with the same letter can be a useful way of starting the process of exploring the significance of the text. So, for today’s reading from Hebrews 10:11-14 such an approach is being suggested.
The reading from Hebrews 10:11-14 describes how in Jesus’s life and death he joins together all of our brokenness, our sins, our needs, our joys, our challenges, our fortunes, our griefs, our lives – all in one perfect, complete offering of Jesus’ life – to the grace of God.
Using symbols of…
- yarn for tangled ideas
- crepe streamers for fragile relationships
- beads for tears of grief
- plasticine for things that are out of shape
- ribbons for the beautiful love of God that we know in Jesus
…the Creative Prayer resource encourages the bringing of all our prayers to the one place – the cross – and the bringing of all our lives to be joined in the one complete and perfect offering of Jesus’ life.
