Key things to do in the coming week:

Create a sacred space in your home to encourage quiet reflection and prayer - this could be:

• A corner of one room
• An under stairs cupboard (it's been tried !!)
• A corner of a shed or garage

Create a time in the day to pray, it could be together as a family.

• Thank God for the good bits
• try to find a way of preventing any bad bits.

Create a Sabbath time as a family

• Have a 'spend nothing' day:  Try to go a whole day without buying anything
• Have a "no screens" day:  switch off the TV, computer, games console and mobile - play games together instead.
• Do a creative activity together, such as gardening, messing around with paints, clay or collage
• Do something that even the youngest can join in with and aim to enjoy it rather than creating perfect works of art.
• Gather together some objects that are fun to touch, feel and smell - such as a piece of velvet, feathers, a tray of sand, lavender bags or pine cones. Spend some time enjoying the different textures and scents
• Make simple vegetable soup together: Everyone can join in and help by chopping vegetables, stirring or setting the table. There are many recipes on the internet including this one http://www.utterlyrecipes.com/?p=17

Take a picture of you doing one of your actions

• Ask your parent or guardian to take a picture of you doing one of your actions
• bring it to Church next week and pin it to the picture board.
