Earthen Vessels Craft

Charity, Gentleness, Kindness, Modesty, Self Control and Patience. Traits we all could do with serving and giving to our fellow human beings in these uncertain and hard times.

We made jars today from some air drying clay. Jars which are labelled with the above virtues. Jars which over the next week we will fill with notes of when we had given or received either of those gifts.

At weekend we will break the jars open, we will read and digest the contents. Some jars may not be as full as the others, some might be empty. Why? How can we work on our own selves and our own family lives to fill these jars too? In great reflection comes a great power for change, and I thought that this activity really provides a visual and hands on way of exploring our own inners lives and how we can be a force for good in the world.

This activity was prepared for Pentecost this Sunday - but I thought i holds a good place here for those with older children
