Psalm 91 Muddy Church: God's Protection

Over the past year or so, we have been holding a monthly Muddy Church session for all ages. Muddy Church is an amazing idea and you can find out more (with all sorts of brilliant resources) here. We have adapted the format to suit our congregation and the session is usually a wander through the park with a focus for wondering and exploring, linked to a Bible verse or story. We then finish, after 45 mins- 1 hour, at the cafe for a drink or an ice-cream! We have all ages participating and our usual crowd varies in age from 3-70s. It's great if you want to do something intergenerational!

Our most recent session used a verse from Psalm 91 and looked at the theme of God's protection, or what we could find that was 'safe and sound.' Here is a printable version of the sheet we used on our wander:

And here are some of the things we found!

A Conker hidden in the cleft of a tree

Something 'strong' supporting a tree and keeping the branch upright

A snail's hiding place

A puddle to jump in- not necessarily on our list to look for, but fun anyway!
