This station follows the talk “Touching Jesus”
Overview:
If you are not using that passage in your service (or even if you are) it might be worth printing out the story in a translation that people will find easy to understand (The Message, New Living Translation or the Contemporary English Version for example). The whole passage can be found in Mark 5:24-33
Instructions to print:
The woman was “unclean”, left out and ashamed.
She thought to herself, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.”
We can feel unclean and ashamed. Jesus invites us to come to him and be made new. The bible calls it being “born again”, given a new start, made as innocent as a newborn baby.
Offer to Jesus anything you feel ashamed of.
As a symbol of his gift of new life you could rub a little baby lotion into your hands.
Resources needed:
- Baby Lotion
- Paper towels (just in case people apply a little too much!)
