Karen started us off by getting us to think of the Kingdom and gave us all a mustard seed. Strikes me that each of the three days, my whisper, Mark’s salt grain, and now Karen’s mustard seed all talk of God being present in the small, the minute, the seemingly insignificant. As I held the mustard seed in my hand I was struck with my insignificance on the wider scheme of things – it’s really easy to think the universe revolves around us and our needs sometimes.
The day 3 pics are up in Flickr. You can see that the art project has taken a major leap forward. The river has been fixed to the wall and so have some of the ‘coats of arms’ which may be seen in the pics towards the end of the album.
Throughout the project we have been inviting passers by to contribute to the art project by painting a coat of arms with the only stipulation from Serpentina being that there was a cross central to the design as in the Gillingham Coat of Arms. People have been really grabbed by this and we have seen people of all ages contribute with their design.
Even better that this has been the chance to chat with people – this has been the real privilege of Love Gillingham.
Tomorrow is a lighter day with a Love Gillingham service in the local park which will be a first and interesting and see.
