Our Lamb Service today at the village hall, was led by Jane Rutherford. The service centred on Jesus’ words — “I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved.” The imagery of the Lamb and the Door came together as we reflected on Jesus as both the sacrificial Lamb of God and the protective Shepherd who guards the entrance to abundant life. 

The service included scripture, prayers, hymns, a children’s story read by Charlie Dunn and Jane’s own (sometimes amusing and very interesting) experiences in lambing to guide us to consider how Jesus offers access to safety, salvation and belonging. Just as a lamb enters the fold through the gate, so we are invited to find peace and purpose through Him.

We all went outside for the blessing of the lambs (with grateful thanks to Anna and Keith) and then afterwards everyone enjoyed tea and cakes. Thank you Jane and Charles for a really special service and all those behind the scenes who provided the delicious food.
