| Over
the summer, we are making a mosaic picture out of beads, buttons and things
we have found on holiday. This is to remind us that God is everywhere.
We will not tell you about our picture, so that it will be a surprise,
but today, all that we did was yellow. |

| We
heard in the Gospel story how Jesus told the disciples to try to tell
people about God, but if they did not want to hear, they were to leave
that place as if they were shaking the dust from their sandals. |

Out
of the story, we picked the colour yellow.
Painters like Van Gogh used yellow to stand for life and energy.
We practised a dance for our return into church. Our dance was a mixture
of energy and foot-shaking, reminding us of the words of Jesus. One of
us wore a shirt with a sunflower pattern, to make everyone think of Van
Gogh's most famous painting of sunflowers.
Dancing and painting can be prayers as much as words. The music we heard,
played mostly by bright-sounding brass instruments, was 'The Royal Fireworks',
by George F Handel. |
