Oisin read a poem entitled, ‘Lord, in the morning I start each day, by taking a moment to bow and pray’. The prayers were read by Skye Love, Oisin, Levi, Ethan, and Sarah.
A play entitled ‘Zacchaeus’ was acted out, with Levi playing the part of Zacchaeus. Sarah played the part of Jesus. The narrators were, Aoife, Ethan and Skye. The crowd was formed by Oisin, Aaron Gregg, Callum Gregg, and Jake Gregg. Abigail assisted with props and Kintija Earls with sound.
Abigail then explained to the congregation how we are all in many ways like Zacchaeus. The good news is that with all our faults, that Jesus still loves us. If we ask him to become our friend he can help us change for the better. The children sang the song entitled, ‘Zacchaeus was a very little man’ accompanied by the organist, Ethne Earls. Aoife read a poem entitled, ‘Always Say A Prayer- A.S.A.P.’ The hymns were introduced by Skye and Levi and the closing prayers were read by Oisin and Levi.
