Rhyme or reason

 

rhyme2This series is about how we use words - not vocabulary, but how words express our thoughts, feelings, emotions.  Words we use at home may mean something different at school. We use words in some places that we never use in other places or times. In particular, the way Christians use words in their worship of God is important.

The assemblies explore situations when words are not enough - when we can't find the words to express what we really think or feel. We hope that people can read our hearts or understand our emotions.  Christians believe that God hears our prayers, but also He sees into hearts - looking for the thoughts and feelings we can't easily explain. But Christians also believe that what we say to those around us is important . How else do people know that we care?

This series aims to take the children on a journey to discover the importance of what we say and how we say it, and the greater importance of learning to listen to the words, thoughts and feelings of others. And, more than that, Christians believe we should take time to listen for God's words in today's noisy world.
