Breakfast Praise in Advent

Breakfast praise yesterday was just great. Apart from enjoying the bacon sandwiches we had a really good time of worship as we explored modern advent songs, lit candles and explored the idea of waiting for Christmas morning.

Then we went on to look at the advent themes of Hope,Peace, Joy and Love in a little more detail using poetry - mor specifically Haiku poetry. If you have not come across this before this is verse which is in 3 lines, the first line has 5 syllable the second 7 and the the third 5. I wrote a verse just to give an example of the style - I called my verse Christmas Eve and it went like this.

Frosty starlit night
Cant bear to wait much longer
The gift arrives - Love

Then I asked different groups to come up with Haiku verses based on the themes of advent. They were all exceptionally good and so I am posting them here for you all to enjoy.

Well done all of you and thank you for your grat contributions, budding poets that you are. Jx
