‘
What was there before God?’ and ‘What is Holy Water?’
These are questions which I was asked by younger members of the congregation after the All-Age Harvest Festival Service.
Finding a way to answer these questions which small children understand can be difficult for parents and clergy alike. During Advent and Christmas this year we will have a graffiti board at the back of church where questions young children have about God and religion can be written. We will then arrange to meet with children and parents one Saturday morning in the New Year and the clergy will put forward some explanations to these queries.
So, parents please listen to those burning theological questions and write them up on the graffiti board, and children think about what questions you’d like to ask. No doubt we will all (adults and children alike) learn something about our faith.
