This evening we've been in the church, no longer like last night learning about scrapbooking, how we might do it and about how it can help as part of community work, but actually doing some ourselves. I think it would be fair to say that it was challenging, fun and gently creative - a way of trying to focus things down to a few words and images at the end of the day: What is it I want to say with this one page I'm making?
As we were finishing our glueing, sewing, cutting sticking and printing we gathered at the other end of Carver memorial and lit once more the red candle for Gaza as we gathered for prayer. Scattered on the floor were pieces of paper with words which Wendy White had prepared. Each was an adjective and we gathered up a few and meditated on them as adjectives for God - mine were changeless, homeless and shopping. The last one of those made me smile. Next to me Janet was busy stuffing one of her words into her shoe and then taking it out and sitting on top of it - hidden. Someone else was reflecting on recycling as an adjective for God.
We promise those of you who can't be here some photos soon, but you know what it's like, no matter how much remembering you do you never bring the right cables with you to connect the computer to the camera!

Sounds like you are all having fun with the scrapbooking. If you are interested in taking it further - or seeing what other people do with it, may I draw your attention to Salt? http://saltfaithchallenge.blogspot.com/
I've been part of the team for over a year and every two weeks produce a "Faith scrapping" page. Which has led to "faith scrapping" Bible study at one of my churches too
God bless
Lythan (Minister at Romford and Heaton Way URc's)
