Today we heard about 3 people who placed their hope and trust in Jesus. We were inspired by one woman in particular, who reached out to touch the hem of Jesus' cloak because she knew that would be enough to heal her.
We reached out to Jesus in our own way, drawing round our hands on the cross and the children drew round theirs writing who it is they trust in their lives.
May we ever keep reaching out to Jesus.
