One of the nice things about SGM Lifewords Inspire resources is that they tend to take on a life of their own. We provide the materials, and others add their own creativity and come up with something new, and nowhere is this more true than with our Christmas range.
One of the more outlandish ideas this Christmas was from St James’ church in Mapperley, Nottingham, who took Meet the Cast onto the high street. Volunteers dressed as characters from the nativity story and appeared in different shops, each location acting as a clue – the wise men were in a travel agents for example, the angel Gabriel in a lighting shop.
Families were given a checklist and challenged to find the whole cast, before meeting back at the central shopping precinct for a carol service. All participants received a copy of Meet the Cast to take away.
“This was such good fun and created quite a stir” said Reverend Phil Williams of the event. “I would encourage others to have a go!”
