Today our colour is orange, to remind us of the bread Jesus gives us. We have added the orange part to our mosaic picture.
 
 
Jesus says 'I am the bread which comes from Heaven.'
Bread is the most basic food; nearly everyone eats it every day.
Jesus is saying he is sent by God, and through his love, he can take everyone who wants to go, to God in Heaven.
Jesus becomes our bread because we eat his body when we receive Communion.
He also shows us how to live every day. If we copy Jesus, we are fed by God's love, and we are feeding other people.
 
We have looked at the ingredients used to make bread, and made them into a recipe for life:
FLOUR can be the everyday work we do;
SUGAR can be the fun of surprises;
SALT can be the bitter tears we sometimes shed;
WATER can be the love which binds us together;
YEAST can be the presence of Jesus, who raises us all to life with God.
 

 
 
We have drawn or written about the way we find all of these ingredients in our lives.We have made our paper into slices of toast and put them into our giant toast rack. As we carried the toast rack and a loaf of bread into church, we heard the music used for an advertisement- Dvorak's 'New World' symphony- which introduces a certain brand of bread.
Of course, there are many more brands of delicious bread.....but Jesus is the BEST.
