Two
weeks ago Class KVJA were given some mustard seeds by the Rev. Chris during his lower
KS2 assembly about The Parable of the Mustard Seed.
We
thought that it would be fun to see if we could grow some mustard plants at
school using the seeds, cotton wool and water.
Mrs Skeggs helped us to plant them and kept them watered. One of our teachers took the trays home last weekend to water them so that they would keep growing.
We
discussed the parable and its meaning and are really proud of the plants.
Today,
we harvested the plants and placed them carefully under a
hedge at school for any creatures to eat.
So,
we are thinking about the word of God spreading from a small beginning (like
the tiny seed growing and
flourishing with love and care) and the creatures that
live and visit our school environment who might want to eat the mustard plants.
(Our
teacher has checked and even though the leaves are a little spicy, many
creatures like the flavour!)
Faith as small as a mustard seed will move mountains, move mountains.
Faith as small as a mustard seed will move mountains by the power of God
Believe what Jesus said was true, believe he meant it just for you.
Wait and see what God will do, as you pray, as you pray.
