Soul Spark 2012
Soul Spark took place in Chearsley Church from 11-17 March 2012, and many people
from the village visited it and felt their spirits uplifted or their hearts
touched. The church was lit, warm and quiet choral music filled the space. There
were a series of interactive ‘stations’ set out in the church concerned with
life experiences and the journey of faith. They included the world of nature,
hopes and dreams, forgiveness, remembrance of those who had died, Jesus the
Light of the world, Jesus’ story of the son who came home and the love of the
father, a ‘family tree’ with leaves on which to write the names of children you
wished to pray for, bubbles to blow for all that made you feel happy in life,
the world about us - moving beads to areas of the world for which you feel
concern and a corner ‘nest’ in which to be still before God. Participants were
invited to write their comments in a book and they included
“It was uplifting”
“I found it to be a very moving experience”;
“time to reflect on my life”;
“inspiring”;
“an answer to prayer”
They also included several requests to repeat the experience, so if you missed
it this time, maybe something similar will be offered at a later date.
