Date: 15th Oct 2024 @ 4:44pm
The children had a lovely service in church this morning. We foccused on harvest and how we need to be thankful for all the food we have, even if we do not like it.

Luke 17:11-19
Jesus Heals Ten Men with a Bad Skin Disease
11 Jesus went on His way to Jerusalem. He was passing between the countries of Samaria and Galilee. 12 As He was going into one of the towns, ten men with a bad skin disease came to Him. They stood a little way off. 13 They called to Him, “Jesus! Teacher! Take pity on us!” 14 When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go and show yourselves to the religious leaders.” As they went, they were healed. 15 One of them turned back when he saw he was healed. He thanked God with a loud voice. 16 He got down on his face at the feet of Jesus and thanked Him. He was from the country of Samaria. 17 Jesus asked, “Were there not ten men who were healed? Where are the other nine? 18 Is this stranger from another country the only one who turned back to give thanks to God?” 19 Then Jesus said to him, “Get up and go on your way. Your trust in God has healed you.”
They also wrote personal prayers on different vegetables linking to Generosity and God’s Bountiful Harvest.

On Tuesday, St Peter's enjoyed hosting our Spring Term WOW Church Synod Group meeting. This meeting was special as we were delighted to welcome Kelly and her team from ‘Praise Along’ to produce an environmentally based collective worship song. 10 children from St Peter’s were joined by children from St John’s Thornham and Milnrow Parish to sing a beautiful song called, ‘Rich Diversity’. This was a wonderful opportunity for our children and they had a fantastic time singing, performing and recording the song. It was amazing to hear the collective voices of our group sing out about such an important topic with great enthusiasm!
Thanks again to Kelly and her Team from ‘Praise Along’ for this opportunity and for members of our diocese for attending and showing their support. We are looking forward to hearing our song when it is published later this year – watch this space!
Our WOW Church members would also like to share the prayer we said at the beginning of our meeting to show our gratitude for our wonderful world:
Dear God,
We praise you for the beauty of creation, its richness and variety.
The earth is yours, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.
Grant us your grace that we may exercise wise stewardship of this Earth; tread lightly upon it and cherish its resources so that in years to come everyone may enjoy its riches.
Please be with us today as we create this song to help spread the word of how wonderful and diverse your creation is.
Help us to restore and care for this beautiful earth you blessed us with.
Amen
