This week we talked about Lent and Reconciliation. In small groups we created and practiced Lenten reconciliation services as a way of putting into practice what we have been learning about forgiveness. Each group prepared their service with a reading, a prayer and a song. Most groups chose to act out their readings too, so we have seen some lovely retelling of The Parable of the Lost Sheep, the story of Zacchaeus and the Tax collector, and Jesus teaching us to pray. 

We have recently been looking at the story of Zechariah, and John the Baptist. We looked at The Annunciation and how God granted Elizabeth and Zechariah the gift of a child, in the same way He granted Jesus upon Mary and Joseph. 

We acted out Zechariah's story, where he visited the temple to burn incense and was greeted by the angel of the Lord. We then also retold the story of the naming of John the Baptist.
