After a brief look inside the worship space we moved into our Hub building to talk about and look at various representations of God from frescos to Icons, to tapestry. The youngsters expressed a variety of views of what they thought God looked like, and one boy helped to remind us all that we don't know what God looks like. That helped us then to move onto understanding that art doesn't tell us what God looks like, rather it seeks to speak about what God is like. A loving creator. One who invites us to share and who is prepared to suffer to show us how much we are loved. That God is not a man!
Finally the two classes had the opportunity to make their own simple stain glass window. So I hope a number of childrens bedrooms now have them attached to their windows, and as the sun light from outside hits them, it will remind them of their visit and just maybe something of what we shared together.
