Joseph
A very flamboyant character was the centre of attention at this particular Stay and Play service. Famous for his coat of many colours, Joseph’s story captured the imagination of the little ones. Themes of sibling rivalry, jealousy, imprisonment, dreams, and forgiveness were brought to life through crafting, songs and active participation by the youngsters.
The children loved using scissors and making snowflakes. Each cut, usually seen as a damaging action, resulted in the revelation of a beautiful, intricate pattern as the paper was unfolded, underlining how even though sometimes bad things happen to us, the amazing power of God can transform it into something wonderful.
Cakes were decorated with vibrant sugar sprinkles, reminiscent of Joseph’s vivid garment and collages were crafted with brightly coloured squares of paper, again reflecting his striking attire.
As always, the dramatisation of the story by the little ones, was much enjoyed, bringing to a close, another fun-filled and action-packed Stay and Play service.
