๐ฟโจ Have you heard about The Well? โจ๐ฟ
Did you know that once a month we gather for an afternoon service called The Well? ๐งโค๏ธ
Held at St Gabrielโs, The Well is a relaxed, informal style of church โ a space to come as you are, explore faith, ask questions, connect with others and simply take some time to pause and reflect. ๐๐
Yesterday, we explored the story of Joseph โ yes, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat! ๐๐ถ
We reflected on how Josephโs story reminds us that God is present not only in the triumphant moments, but also in the painful, confusing and tangled seasons of life โ those times when weโre not quite sure whatโs happening or where the journey is taking us.
This led us to the remarkable story of Corrie ten Boom, a Dutch Christian who, alongside her family, bravely hid hundreds of Jewish people during the Second World War.
Reflecting on her own life, Corrie said:
๐ญ โAlthough the threads of my life have often seemed knotted, I know, by faith, on the other side of the embroidery, there is a crown.โ ๐๐งต
Inspired by this, we got creative! ๐จ๐งต We embroidered hearts with our initials โ a simple, visual reminder that even when life feels tangled, God is still weaving our story. โค๏ธ
We also made paper-chain prayers for people and situations close to our hearts, both locally and around the world. ๐๐
It was a lovely afternoon of faith, creativity, conversation and community. ๐โจ
๐ Come and join us at The Well!
