A shout out to everyone of grandparent generation and the children they love and care for in their families, churches and communities.
You are invited to bring each other to Gloucester Cathedral for a fun and creative afternoon where you can explore Christian faith and spirituality together. There will be prayer spaces, story, activities, dance, interactive worship and more.
Activities:
Gingerbread people – Icing and sprinkles galore. Recreate yourselves in gingerbread form.
Decorated Doves – How do we say thank you to God for each other? Mary and Joseph took doves to the temple what would you give?
Candle display – At Candlemas we turn from Christmas and look towards Easter from the dark of winter to the light of Spring. Decorate your candle to show how you light up the world.
Photo booth – Dress up as each other take a funny photo and upload it to the QR code.
Fridge Magnets – Create a fridge magnet and swap them as a promise to pray for each other.
Peg it! – Write or draw a prayer – who can you peg it to without them noticing? Keep on passing the prayer.
The beauty of glass – Create a beautiful window which talks about your relationship with God or a favourite Bible story.
Table talk – Take a seat pick a card and just have a chat for a few moments
Table Talk for Toddlers – Go on a shape and colour hunt through the cloisters or a nature hunt in the garden.
The empty chair – When someone has died the love we have for them lives on, and they continue to influence our lives. Use the materials to remember someone you love but see no longer.
Sensory spaces – Throughout the cathedral are small quiet spaces and baskets/activities to explore together.
Prayer Stations – Opportunity to reflect and pray for families of all generations risking their lives to escape danger, often leaving homes, traditions, family history and, very probably, elderly family members not up to the journey, finding God’s story through photographs and pictures, and much more.
Also including a dance workshop and DJ.
Un-Evensong
Evensong with a twist including dance presentation.
