Home Group
Tonight we decided to try something a little different. Hamo had me thinking about how to include the kids, and we all piled into the lounge and explored worship a little deeper.
First we all came up with a word to define worship, and then using each of those words we did something around that. Eg for singing we sang a couple of songs that the kids knew, while Jadeen danced, then we said some sentence prayers for praise and thanking, we broke some bread and drank some water for contemplating or thinking quietly. It was great to see the kids involved, and later as I was tucking them into bed both of them thanked me for letting them be part of it. Unfortunately Erin had to be put to bed part way through so Judith missed out on part of it.
We finished up with the word picture that John paints for us in Revelation 4 of the scene in heaven of the throne and the lamb and the worship of the saints, angels and living creatures etc.
Next week I think we will look at discipleship a little.
