Lovely to have Freckleton C of E Primary School in for their Ascension Day Eucharist. We looked at empty shoes to think about Jesus and the Ascension.
Football boots and the winning team remind us of Jesus is the King who now reigns.
Comfy Slippers that we wear at home remind us that Jesus is home with his Father and has rescued us and paid the price so we can one day be at home with God too.
The sandals are more like the shoes Jesus would have worn when he lived his earthly life. He understands our difficulties and temptations and he is our friend in heaven who prays for us.
