Creative God-time

Every Sabbath my son and I try do something creative for our God-time.

Before Easter we created our shrine and filled it a little more each week.

A few weeks ago we read about the Kingdom of God being like yeast in a batch of dough - then we went and made a wonderful whole-wheat loaf and watched the parable at work while we talked about how we can be yeast, and help the whole community rise up for / to meet God.

This week I'm stealing ideas from Rachelle, Steve and Johnny Baker. While all our good little neighbours are in church (we're the local heathen non-attenders), we're gonna grab our sidewalk chalks and fill the roads near each church gathering (there are THREE on campus!) with messages and images of God, peace, reminders of ascension etc. When they come out from their gatherings, these messages will have magically appeared all over campus and we'll be long gone to our Sabbath lunch.

We're going to work freehand as well as with a few stencils - we might try the idea in Johnny Baker's Worship Tricks of using chalk dust, or we may just use the chalks as-is.

Rain is expected later in the weekend, so I don't think we'll get into TOO much trouble... :)
