In the words of Gary (our blue skined, pink haired, scouse puppet) WoooowwwWeeee!!!
God is Good!
We were invited at the last minute to take part in the Pentecost Service at Urswick Parish Church. This was a joint service with the other three churches in the adjoining parish's of Aldingham, Rampside and Dendron. The service was held in the playground of Low Furness School and boy was it HOT HOT HOT!! We had a great congregation and the theme for the day was 'Journeying Together'. We did a puppet sketch with Gary recieving a postcard from his best friend Ben who was on holiday in Australia. He was having a great time and was making use of the things that Gary had given him. We went on to do a comedy sketch about the story of Jonah before Mark talked to the children and adults about how God helps us along life's journey even when we turn away from him like Jonah did. Our travelling companion is the Holy Spirit, Mark read from Acts chapter 1 verse 8 when Jesus promised the disciples the Holy Spirit and told them that they would be witnesses for Him in Jerusalem, Judea and Sameria and to the ends of the earth. No matter what life throws at us with the Holy Spirit our journey through life is made better. The vicar Rev. Alex Armstrong summed up the service to the adults.
As we were asked at the very last minute Mark and I felt very unprepared but with the gifts God has given us and through the power of His Holy Spirit we had a great and blessed time. God is Good!!
May He challenge you to use the gifts He has given you on your journey today.
