Throughout this year, Dearne Churches Together has worked to give out small tokens of kindness and love to our community. At Easter we gave out hearts to the community and care homes, and today we will be giving out stars. These have been made or decorated by people who wanted to bless others, oftend spending much time on these gifts, and we are grateful for the many hundreds of stars which have been knitted, crocheted, sewn, painted or decorated in other ways. We have stars made from beads, stars that are baubles and many other kind of stars, all reminding us of the star which guided the Magi to baby Jesus.
Jesus said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’ (Acts 20:35). Devotion understands this and seeks to bless other people from the abundance of blessing God gives to us. Thank you to all who have supported these community projects so selflessly. We pray that God will see each act of devotion and will bless all who receive these stars.
