Leader : Julia Hodgson (Hamden View Church) Julia spoke of her connections to Tapon through the West Branch, the Whit sings, and knowing various members of the congregation. Her talk was based on a set of Russian dolls Reading : John 1 1-5 “In the beginning” It is good to be able to set your heart on something and to achieve it. Nice to receive surprises and gifts. Jesus is the greatest gift anyone could have I we accept Him we will be content, we will not have envy and we will have concerns for others. Our aim is to make someone happy and brighten their day. The Russian dolls tell us who we are 1. The largest one reminds us of our relationship with God God the Father who created the world. 2. The next size doll reminds us of Christ Jesus who is next to God and who did marvellous things in his 30 years of ministry. 3. The next one is the Holy Spirit who came down to the disciples to enable them to spread the word and the smallest doll 4 is human beings, formed by God we are in Him and He is in us.
