Growing Faith at Home
I can’t quite imagine what it might have been like in the crowd the day Jesus arrived in Jerusalem riding on a donkey. Bubbling excitement, loud cheering and high expectations surged through the people as they waved palm branches and welcomed Jesus into the city.
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week and this week’s GFH resource shares ideas and activities to explore. The Creative Response is a great way to reflect on this important time of the year through bible readings, prayer, symbols and blessings.
For another Easter idea, you might like to make a cross out of a palm leaf! See the resource sheet for pictures and a link to instructions.
God bless your week!

Little Lambs Playgroup
Our community values opportunities to connect with families with little ones. Sharing time together, chatting over a coffee as little ones play is its own reward. Creating an environment where relationships can be formed and nurtured is a wonderful area of connection and care!
We are still looking for people who might be interested in serving in this way. If this is something you feel led to be a part of, I would love to hear from you. There are plenty of resources ready to go thanks to the creativity, generosity and love of previous Little Lambs team leaders. Please contact me via email or chat with me sometime about this valuable opportunity. Hope to hear from you soon.
