Welcome to the flock

Roger’s first baptism at the Priory was a joyful occasion shared with the youngster’s family and friends as he joined the flock, becoming the newest member of the Church of England.

The parable of the lost sheep gave everyone the opportunity to sing a ‘Lifepath’ favourite ‘God knows everything about me’, complete with enthusiastically performed actions.

There are three ways of being lost, Roger told the congregation - knowing where you are, but not knowing where you ought to be, or knowing where you want to get to, but not knowing where you are right now, and finally thinking that you’re not lost at all, despite being totally disorientated.

But Jesus says that ‘God knows everything about us’ (note the link to the Lifepath song?!). God’s looking for us and looking out for us, walking with us, there for us if you need God or want God.

And the other sheep in the pics? Well, they’re being handmade in Malvern, by enthusiastic crafters preparing for Christmas at the Priory…watch this space!
