WOW! Parksville Baptist Church did an amazing job! The line was long, a lot of people went to see it, but it was great! To top it all off, they provided hot chocolate and cookies at the end - served in the fellowship hall with the choir singing in the background.
I loved the potter the best. It made me think of how we are shaped into the people we are by the gentle pressure applied to us by the great Potter. He knows what the end product will be, and over time, through constant pressure, He forms it. The clay, however, needed to be kept moist and soft so it could be pliable. There are so many things that can make us hardened to His hands. Once the shape was made in the way the Potter planned, it was fired in an oven so it would remain that way. The potter at the walk fired his pieces bit by bit. He held one end over the flame, then turned it. I think the great Potter knows how much heat we can take and will carefully allow us to feel that heat. Never more than we can handle. The clay, also, looked like a lump of dirt. I guess that's what we are though. Until He shapes us. Lumps of carbon and water and calcium...we really DO have a lot in common with that clay!
The other part of the night that amazed me was the hot chocolate at the end. They set up dozens of tables and had our party of 6 seated and served in moments. It was a fluid and graceful dance. Incredibly well done!
