At Sunday Xtra in July we thought about the Parable of the Sower [Matt 13:1-9]. A team of volunteers acted out the story, enthusiastically sowing imaginary seeds then growing quickly but withering because the soil was shallow then getting choked by weeds and finally growing again, tall and strong when they had been sown in the good soil.
Many of us have allotments and we thought about how we normally sow seeds – very carefully in narrow rows or individual holes. The farmer carefully sows seeds to the edge of his field but he does not throw them on the path or in the hedge. This parable told us how generous God is in sharing his love with all of us, no matter how underserving we might be.
Sunday Xtra is a short informal service on the 2nd Sunday of each month in the Parish Hall at All Saints Church (Frances Road), 10am. On 14th August we will be “Talking with Jesus” and on 11th September our theme is “The Golden Rule.” Do come along.
More information about Sunday Xtra is available on the team ministry website or email SundayXtra@windsorchurches.org.uk to join our mailing list. You can also find us on Facebook.
