Leading up to Pentecost, Sunday 4th June Many churches will be praying for their friends in the days leading up to Pentecost (see pages 10-11).

Use these designs as posters, banners, postcards, PowerPoints and more to talk about the coming of the Holy Spirit, freedom in Christ and the peace that only God gives.

Guy writes: “Since childhood I have always been drawing, frequently lost in my imagination (common in my old school reports!). I love this God-given creativity that allows me to put beautiful pictures onto paper. I give all credit to the Lord for this wonderful gift which I hope will bring you as much joy as it does when I draw it.”

The words say ‘And they were filled with the Holy Spirit’.

Some put prayers or their own message on the back of postcards or bookmarks using designs like this. If there’s a big matching banner people will join the dots. Repetition has power.

Our memories are so visual.

Doves and hands speak of peace, freedom and surrender: the things that all of us need.

NEW! Overflow C5250MP Romans 15:13 is a favourite verse for many. This is striking and modern. Maybe it could even work in a snap frame in the toilets or entrance hall? (see page 7).

Artist profile

Lilly Tigwell Artist instagram.com/lillytigwellartist Lilly writes: “At the moment I am NEW! Offer it to God conducting a project on understanding C5244MP more of my God-given creativity through artistic discipline. I am doing a painting or drawing a day for a whole year. I often don’t plan what I am going to draw or paint until I am sitting in front of a canvas or sketchbook, but I enjoy letting my subconscious leak onto the page. This was done one evening at a time when my future was uncertain. I needed some grounding in some biblical truth. As I searched for what to paint, hands began to emerge as a drawing. As I continued I began to let colour leak out of the hands, and float upwards. I later added the gold paint which I think adds a regal or royal essence: quite appropriate for the authority that God holds over our lives. This is such a comfort in times when everything around us is so uncertain.”

WHERE THE

SPIRIT OF

FREEDOM

i

Why this verse? The words ‘spirit’ and ‘freedom’ resonate on our streets, where people may admit a spiritual hunger, and a desire for freedom even if they wouldn’t consider church. The blast of colour and warmth is a visual representation of 2 Corinthians 3:17.

NEW! Spirit of Freedom C5248MP The larger and closer you get to this design, the more you’ll be able to appreciate its textures and layers. Like so much you’ll see here, it was created after prayer and many revisions by CPO for churches.

In those days Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean town in the hill country, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me? For as soon as I heard the sound of your greeting, the child in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her by the Lord.”

After these things, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, though a secret one because of his fear of the Jews, asked Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission; so he came and removed his body. Nicodemus, who had at first come to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing about a hundred pounds. They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it with the spices in linen cloths, according to the burial custom of the Jews. Now there was a garden in the place where he was crucified, and in the garden there was a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid. And so, because it was the Jewish day of Preparation, and the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

God, who in goodness and wonder shaped the world may we find rest and renewal with you, preparing in your presence for all the beautiful and mighty work that is to come, rising up with you to greet the next day and work for a new world with Jesus, your creative Word. Amen.

And it was so. God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their multitude. And on the seventh day God finished the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done. So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in creation.

God of the redeeming moment of the right people in the right places, we pray to be attentive to your Spirit so that we may be agents of your change; full of steadfast purpose and holy action, risk-takers in the face of apathy and death, speakers of truth in the face of silence.

Jesus, grant us courage. Amen.

Jesus, who spoke words of invitation to young men still uncertain of their way through the world, may we hear your voice today challenging, welcoming, calling us to abide.

Help us to listen well and respond faithfully, drawing others with us into your loving, life-changing Kingdom, Amen.

Conversations in the In-Between

Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, “Do not think that in the king’s palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews. For if you keep silence at such a time as this, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another quarter, but you and your father’s family will perish. Who knows? Perhaps you have come to royal dignity for just such a time as this.” Then Esther said in reply to Mordecai, “Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids will also fast as you do. After that I will go to the king, though it is against the law; and if I perish, I perish.”

When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi, where are you staying?”

He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. One of the two who heard John speak and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.

He first found his brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah”. He brought Simon to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You are to be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter). The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him about whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth.” Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”

Ageless God who weaves together the experience of generations, teach us what it means to increase in wisdom and years through our encounters with one another and with you; may we learn what it is to meet you in old and young alike and to honour your Son wherever we find him, Amen.

And the child’s father and mother were amazed at what was being said about him. Then Simeon blessed them and said to his mother Mary, “This child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be opposed so that the inner thoughts of many will be revealed - and a sword will pierce your own soul too.”

When they had finished everything required by the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favour of God was upon him. Then he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. His mother treasured all these things in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and in years, and in divine and human favour.

Only half of the children in church today will still be there as adults, recent research tells us. Half. Parents have the biggest influence on the faith of young children, but only a third feel it’s important to teach at home. These resources matter for these reasons.
