Suggestions for Children & Young People
For Young People
Knowing that God loves you and affirms who you are, look out for ways of affirming others this week by thanking, praising or encouraging them.
For Children
Suggest to the children that, every time they have a drink of water or wash their hands this week, they remember the story of Jesus’ baptism and God’s love for them.
As each person would have left the River Jordan...
As each person would have left the River Jordan changed that day, so may we leave here, changed by our encounters with you, Lord Jesus.
Amen.
