Hello everyone
I hope you are all OK. I know some of you have had a few challenges, others are busy, others are quiet. I’m sorry I haven’t had chance to catch up with you all so far but my prayers and thoughts are with you. It been great to hear that some of you have been tuning into our live Facebook at 11am on Tuesdays and Thursdays and also our new Family at Moortown channel where we upload the week’s live sessions as well as putting on new Sunday sessions that you can see every Sunday on the same theme as Church at Home.
It was also great to see many of you draw an egg for the virtual Easter Egg Competition. It was both lovely to see all your faces as well as learning more about you through your artistic representations!
So it’s time for another one…. I have just put this on the Pulse leaders whats app but I am also emailing this out to Pulse, Bubbles, toddler group leaders, Rewind team, Creche and anyone I know who has responded to me so far on supporting children/families. I’d like you to record your favourite bible story/a story that means a lot to you, either in the past or now in no more than 2 minutes. You can use props, act it, create it, read it out from a book, speak it, sing it, paint it, whatever you like but all under 2 minutes. The most important thing is that it’s as accessible as possible, for example, if you can use 2/3 words then don’t use 10. You’ll know this already but as it’s a video then be mindful of what is in the background, look at the camera and try not to wear the same colour as your background, make sure you stand out! The bible stories will be put up over the next few weeks on Moortots Facebook page (that will soon be renamed Family at Moortown to encompass all we do) and the Family at Moortown youtube channel.
Although this is a challenging time it’s also exciting at what God is doing. We are getting people tuning into church who have never been in our building and it would be great to support these families as well as supporting our precious families who are already part of MBC on a Sunday. May is actually national share a story month, so what better way then sharing God’s word?
The deadline for our bible stories/passages is Saturday 23rd May. Can you what’s app or email them to me on shelley.dring.mbc@btconnect.com Please don’t feel this is something that you have to do, I know everyone has different pressures but if you are able and would like to then it would be great to hear from you. Also if you know anyone who would like to do it, then please let them know. Do get in touch with any questions
Thank you all so much
Blessings
