Congratulations!

FOR ALL AGES: Write a new verse for John Lennon’s song ‘Imagine’

WINNER: Revd June Asquith, Rector, St Mary’s Wavertree, Liverpool

Imagine there’s no suffering

No hurt or painful cry

Nobody sick or starving

Each day a bright new sky

Imagine every person freed from all their grief.

You may say it’s impossible

But I know that it’s God’s plan

One day we’ll see the answer

And the can’t will be the can.

RUNNER UP: Diana Jones, Finchley Methodist Church, London

Imagine there’s no suffering,

Our faith would be in vain,

How could we know our Saviour

Who died in bitter pain?

Imagine! We have fellowship

With Him our risen Lord

And assurance of salvation

As promised in His word!

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE: Encourage your group to create a Palm Sunday photographic storyboard.

WINNER: Didsbury Baptist Church Young People

RUNNER UP: Junior Church at Elvet Methodist Church, Durham

FOR CHILDREN: Make treasure pots with your group and send us a photo, saying what they are going to put in them.

WINNER: St James Church Pathfinders, West End, Southampton

The children had various ideas for what they would put in their pots:

• happy messages so that when she felt down she could take one out to read
• jewels and gems

RUNNER UP: Sunday’s Cool, St John the Baptist Church, Wateringbury, Kent

How the children described what they would put in their pots:

• She wants to purchase beautiful gems and keep them in her pot.
• She always wanted to write about her fun time in church today and keep it safe in her pot, like a diary.
• The pot on the left hand side is going to be filled with copper coin change and then donated into our Ladybird collection pot!
• The last pot at the back was going to hold next week's palm leaf in it but it wasn't finished. Needs more height...!

A big thank you to everyone who sent in an entry.
