How are you all getting on? We miss seeing you! Hopefully you have been able to enjoy the great sunshine that we had recently but I think that the weather is a bit stormier now! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today we\u2019ll hear a story about a storm that struck when Jesus and his friends were out in a boat. Watch this video to find out what happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jesus Calms the Storm\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uYLHqdSO9OY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wow, Jesus could calm the wind and the waves with just his words. His friends were amazed and terrified at what they had seen. Let\u2019s think a bit more about this story together through some activities.<br><br><strong>Storm Art<\/strong><br><br>Can you recreate a storm scene with the boat in the picture too? There are lots of ways you can do this with whatever you have around at home, here are some ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Make a 3d picture by cutting up strips of paper, glue each end of the strip down on a sheet of paper to make a wave effect. If you don\u2019t have any blue paper then you can colour in different shades of blue to use instead. Cut out a cardboard boat from a cereal packet and stick that on amongst the waves. Don\u2019t forget to add a sail to your boat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Paint a picture of a storm. You\u2019ll need paper, paint, paintbrushes and some brown card or paper to colour in for the boat. Swirl blue, white and black paint together to make some stormy effects and then stick on your boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"508\" height=\"324\" src=\"https:\/\/broughtybaptist.org\/wpsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/broughtybaptist.org\/wpsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image.jpeg 508w, https:\/\/broughtybaptist.org\/wpsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-300x191.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/broughtybaptist.org\/wpsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/broughtybaptist.org\/wpsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-1.jpeg 740w, https:\/\/broughtybaptist.org\/wpsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-1-300x233.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes it can feel like we\u2019re going through \u2018storms\u2019 in our lives, when we are finding something difficult. Can you think of anything that you have found difficult recently? Jesus\u2019 friends were experienced fishermen and so it must have been a terrible storm if they weren\u2019t able to control their boat in it. They turned to Jesus for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tornado in a Bottle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve enjoyed this activity at Messy Church in the past but can you get it to work at home? You\u2019ll need a jar or a bottle, water and a squirt of washing up liquid. Fill your jar or bottle around three quarters full with water, add a squirt of washing up liquid, make sure the lid is on very tightly and then swirl it around vigorously. As you swirl it around, you should start to see a mini tornado appear in the jar. Stop swirling and it will become completely calm again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"394\" height=\"330\" src=\"https:\/\/broughtybaptist.org\/wpsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/broughtybaptist.org\/wpsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-2.jpeg 394w, https:\/\/broughtybaptist.org\/wpsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-2-300x251.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 394px) 100vw, 394px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"382\" height=\"328\" src=\"https:\/\/broughtybaptist.org\/wpsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/broughtybaptist.org\/wpsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-3.jpeg 382w, https:\/\/broughtybaptist.org\/wpsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-3-300x258.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 382px) 100vw, 382px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine being in the boat with Jesus\u2019 friends as the storm raged around them, it must have been very scary. But just a few words from Jesus and all was calm again, just like our tornado jars when we stop swirling them!<br><br><strong>Story and Song Celebration Time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can read today\u2019s story in the Bible in Mark 4 v 35-41 or you can follow this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Mark+4%3A35-41&amp;version=ICB\">link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus\u2019 friends were amazed at what had happened as they saw that Jesus had great power, even over the wind and the waves. It made them wonder who Jesus was. Who do you think Jesus is? This is a really important question for us to think about for ourselves and you can read all about Jesus and the things that he said and did, in the Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We might feel like we\u2019ve been going through a storm recently ourselves as so many things have changed. We\u2019ve not been able to go to nursery or school or to other activities as usual and we\u2019ve not been able to see our friends and family in the normal ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quite near the start of the lockdown, I found myself feeling worried by all of the sudden changes that had happened and I didn\u2019t know what the future would look like. It felt like being in a storm and as if everything had been turned upside down. But then I remembered that Jesus is always with me in every situation and so even if it feels like life has been turned upside down, I can trust him to be with me and to calm my fears. The storm might not always go away quickly but Jesus brings us peace and hope in difficult times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u2018May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him.\u2019<\/p><cite><em>Romans 15 v 13<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s finish off with a song that is new to our Messy Church and it reminds us of God\u2019s power and that we can hold on to him each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/Y1MDCwirYoQ\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember to send in any pictures of what you have made to our Facebook page or you can email them to familyworker@outlook.com, we would love to share some on our Facebook page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you for visiting Messy Church At Home and we hope you\u2019ll join us here again<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday 6 June 2020 Welcome to Messy Church at Home.
