Stained glass windows
We’ve stopped going to the local church in Trumpington. The reasons behind this are difficult and painful, but it was time to move on. So we’ve found a new home at Grantchester, the next village along. I don’t know exactly what we expected, but they have given us a very warm welcome and, best of all, there is a role for our children. There are family services once a month (which are some of the best-implemented all age worship I’ve seen) and Godly Play once a month. This is particularly good news as it is the form of Sunday School Adam and Ruth are already familiar with.
(An aside – it’s been far too long since I’ve blogged regularly – I can’t find words.)
Today was a family service, and Adam was asked to prepare a stained glass window to bring to shine a torch through. (Ruth helped with the collection – a job she took extremely seriously and performed very well – even restricting her usual hopping and skipping to a dignified walk back down the chancel (woo-hoo! I just looked that up to check – I’m right – it was the chancel!) after delivering her bowl at the altar.)
So on Friday I decided that all three of us could make stained glass windows. Here are our results:
(No prizes for guessing which one is Ruth’s.)

How does the all-age worship work? I’ve been to some services that have been appalling and some that I’ve enjoyed – but as I’m there without children I’m not sure if they “worked” for everyone?Daisy () (link) - 02 November '08 - 19:02
