Something New: BE BRAVE.CHOOSE KIND

Something New is on Sunday 30th June at 3pm.
BE BRAVE.CHOOSE KIND
This Something New we will reflect on The Good Samaritan story – an incredibly familiar story that has shaped much of Western history. Jesus tells this story and it informs both our questions of ‘but why did Jesus die?’ and ‘what does it mean to follow him?’
Join us to hear the story of the Good Samaritan, with:
  • Slackline balancing
  • figurine play
  • film making
  • clips from ‘Wonder’
  • Afternoon tea & community time
SOMETHING NEW is a monthly gathering of adults & children together exploring what it means to live the good life in God’s beautiful broken world. We’d love you to come along and be part of our monthly community.
NEXT TIME AT SOMETHING NEW – WINTER STORYTELLING – SAT 27th JULY 5-7 PM
Talk to Jaimie our Children’s and Families Pastor  or Jess our Community Pastor if you’d like to know more: (jessica[AT]paddington.church)

Future dates for 2019: Something New is held on the last Sunday of the month –  July 27 5pm, August 25, September 29, October 27, Novermber 24.

 

Previously in 2019:

WELCOMED – we asked but why are there so many churches today? We discovered that when people encounter Jesus they are transformed. We reflected on Saul’s conversionand the birth of the early church. We wondered about it all with dominos, silkscreen printing, chemical reactions and we had a special challenge for high schoolers.

HOPE – we asked but why was Jesus so special and reflected on the women at the empty tomb (from Luke 24), exploring the meaning of resurrection and the hope it offers everyone. We played with a giant ball, went to the theatre to see a play, made a take home Easter garden and undertook a crime scene investigation to work out what happened to Jesus’ body.

LOVE  – for Easter we considered the amazing love story of Jesus’ death and resurrection that makes the cross the symbol of Christianity. We’re asking ‘but why did Jesus die?’ exploring God’s incredible love for his world and the peace, forgiveness and life he wants for all of creation! We had love letter writing, love song karaoke and an Easter Egg hunt.

 

 

NARNIA – we watched ‘The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe’ to explore the ideas of sacrifice and redemption with Edmund, Lucy, Susan and Peter. A great time of popcorn & reflection was had by all!
