Sunday Celebration

Good Morning!

Thanks so much for joining us. This week our time of worship is in the same video as the welcome and follows on after Soroush.

Today's Talk

Watch today's talk from Gavin on Patience.

Time to Pray

We would love to give you an opportunity to respond to what Gavin shared this morning. If you are watching this with your children, why not encourage them to get involved with the prayer response too. 

• Spend some time thanking God for his patience for us, as God demonstrated patience in the most amazing way by dying on a cross for everything we have ever done wrong.
• What are some of the areas in your life that you need increased patience for?
• Ask God to help you with this areas. 
• As the current restrictions in the UK are extended for at least another 3 weeks, spend some time asking God for patience for your household.

Want to know more about want it means to become a Christian?

Becoming a Christian is about following Jesus and starting a friendship with him. Watch this short video below which explains more. You can also read the 'Why Jesus' booklet which explains how you can become a Christian. 

You can also contact us if you'd like to talk with someone about becoming a Christian or just want to know more!

For Children

• For younger children: Watch this video from Sesame Street about patience.

• Bicarbonate Fizz Experiement

The build up of pressure in the balloon is a bit like a build up of anger in our lives. How to we practice self control and patience?

Note: This needs adult supervision - make sure vinegar does not get squirted at others, and young children do not eat ingredients!
Method: Pour vinegar into 250ml water bottle about half full.  Add 2 teaspoons of Bicarbonate of soda into balloon using a funnel (you can make one with a paper cone).  Stretch the balloon over the mouth of the bottle, being careful not to let the bicarbonate fall into the bottle.  Lift the balloon completely upright so that the bicarbonate pours into the vinegar.  

Reflection:
The bicarbonate of soda and vinegar react with each other and make carbon dioxide gas which blows up the balloon. What makes you 'blow up'? Why? It is easy to get angry or annoyed and we need self control to stop our anger growing to the point where we say something we later wish we hadn't.  How can grow in self control and patience?

• Questions: Name three things that test your patience the most.  Why do they do that?
  Create eight sentences that describe a patient person.  Start each sentence with a letter from the word patience.
   
• Memory Verse: Proverbs 16:32 "Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper, than one who takes a city."

Describe the two people being contrasted in this proverb.  What are they like? Why is it better to be a "patient man" than a "warrior"? Who is stronger?
Talk to God about when you are likely to be like a warrior, without patience.  Ask God to give you a patient spirit.
