"Keeping Promises" 16th June 2013

The theme of keeping promises was chosen by members of the Pioneers group a few months using the method of a topic for each letter of the alphabet.

This week also saw a different format for Pioneers as we included younger children and (for part of the meeting) members of the creche.

We started to look at God keeping his promise never to flood the world again and as a sign of this, a rainbow appears in the sky during some rain showers.  We all agreed that, although some parts of the world suffer from sever flooding, the world has never been flooded again.

We then, with agreement with our Minister, shared in Communion together and invited the creche to join us.  The bread and wine had been blessed for us and as we sat in a circle, we remembered how Jesus and his Disciples shared a meal and how God kept his promise.  He promised the world a Saviour and Jesus died to save us all.

We then, as one group, decorated some large cookies based to help remember the promise of God's rainbow.
