The service was by Rev Terry Price.

Terry, as usual arrived with the mystery "Doggie bag" and also with a second bag !
He opened with a prayer and then asked the congregation what day it was ?
​He then proceeded to tell all the little folk that this was day that Jesus rode into town on the back of a young donkey which had been borrowed from a post it was tied up to.

The disciple threw his coat over the donkey for Jesus to sit upon it.
Terry pointed out that Jesus had not arrived in a luxurious form of transport with massive grandeur, but on the back of a lowly donkey.  
Terry then proceeded to say that as Jesus traveled into town all of the people along the route laid down their coats and also lined the road with leaves from palms trees.
They all had come to see the arrival of the New King of the Jews who had come to save them from many different evils.

Reading for today

Sermon:
​
Terry produced flags from certain countries and discussed their highest mountains.

​He told the children that it doesn't matter where we are from as we are all the same in God's eyes.

Terry used Hebrews 12 for the adults. This compares Mount Sinai to Mount Zion. Mount Sinai represented darkness, gloom and terrible fear for the Israelites. But Mount Zion represents happiness, joyous singing and a wonderous anticipation of what is to come for all Christians

The service today was by
Rev Terry Price




Terry opened the service and called the little folk to the front to discuss..... foot ware !
He produced the now famous "doggie bag" and pulled out his first pair of shoes  which were hiking boots.
He asked where these would be used ?
Answers were "walking" "hiking", "in the mountains"
Then he produced a pair of formal work shoes.
"Where will I use these ? "
" Presentations" "work functions" .... "formal events"
Then the next pair appeared and brought smiles around the room...
"Gum boots" or "Wellingtons"
"And where are these used ?"
"In the fields" , "power hosing the driveway", "cleaning the car"
Then lastly out came a pair of trainers or running shoes
"And where will I use these ?"
"Running"
"Well that one is possibly not what I would use them for ! Look underneath they are still pretty new "
​But what is the message behind the showing of the shoes.

The message was that, no matter what shoes you walk in it is most important that you walk in the light of God at all times.

​Terry then went on to give us more insight into the idea by presenting his sermon based on the scriptures in Hebrews 12: 2-17

Terry started the service by presenting an empty jar.

He then asked the congregation what they would like to fill up their time with in the next week.
The replies were varied and according to their personal situations and wants and desires.

The last thing that Terry tried to fit into the jar was a miniature rugby ball showing that he would like to have some rugby time in his schedule.

He then said that the important thing to have in the jar was to leave time for God. He in fact suggested that we all start by adding time for God into our daily schedules before we start filling them up with other things.

Terry then presented his sermon which was from Hebrews 10: 19 - 25 
​
Terry showed his method of remembering about adding God to our daily lives by adding a golf ball with the words written on it into the jar.

He reiterated the three main parts as:

1.)  Sitting at Gods feet
2.) Standing on his promise
​3.) Walk With God
