We’ll explore the importance of play in Christian tradition and for human wellbeing, contemplating ‘play’ in Creation and the Bible, fairytale and film, and considering Jesus’ words: ‘Anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.’ What if play is the opposite of fear? What if God is playful? Come, enjoy, play, think, and move deeper in faith.

We will dive deep into the text, and swim in its fascinating symbolism. A creative one-woman short theatre piece ‘The Red Thread’ will be presented, creatively bringing us into the roles key women played in the salvation story. There will be an opportunity for
discussion and a beautiful space to reflect on themes and soul questions. We will approach this crucial text attentively and prayerfully. So come and enjoy engaging with the Bible – all are welcome!
