Weve had two good Sunday afternoons so far
& one more to go in August...Sunday 21st.
Lost amidst the chaos of weeding & clearing our front garden, someone dropped by to chat...
& said the art & prayer sounded interesting....but....well, could someone like me join in?
...I mean what do you actually do ?
Well, a few brave souls decided to come & dip their toe into the water, so to speak...
& the first afternoon we began by looking at Jesus Calming the Storm: Mark 5 v 35-41
 |
| Annie Valotten : Line drawings for the Good News Bible : Jesus stills the storm |
 |
| Tsunami : etched & sandblasted antique glass panel |
then took time in silence to pray that Christ might still this storm within us,....
finally drawing a symbolic shape to symbolise His presence within & among us,
whether expressed as calm on a wide sea...
or a variety of other colours & shapes...
Anyone can join in...at any level... its simply a way of going more deeply into what you really wish to bring before God in prayer... & maybe, a way of getting away from the wordy "shopping list"!
On our second afternoon we had a go at intercessory prayer, without using words, but instead using coloured pastels & drawing shapes to represent the people / events we wished to bring before God in prayer.
Interested?
then do let me know...and we might plan some more small groups in Wivenhoe...
or a Quiet Day somewhere, focusing on silent prayer through creative art.
