Yorkshire Church on Show at the Great Yorkshire Show 8/9/10 July
"The Good Shepherd"... John 10: "I know my sheep and my sheep know me". A peaceful opportunity to explore and reflect upon the Christian Gospel in everyday life amidst the rush and bustle of the Great Yorkshire Show. Newsletter available (pdf, 239kb).
Some 4,500 people visited the Church Pavilion this year.
Focus is particularly given to the Good Shepherd, knowing his flock by name, feeding them, leading them to places of refreshment, protecting them, leading them through places of danger, rescuing them and bring them safely home.
The first display
re-tells the story of the Good Shepherd using an animated powerpoint show.
Reflections in the prayer pool come from
inspiring images of creation shown on a screen (funded by Church House Trust in February 2008).
The place of danger includes
footsteps to help lead the way through the difficulties and dangers in the world around us, in farming and in each of our lives.
Ewenice provided opportunity to try a puzzle - the sheep's eyes light up if the wand touched the outline copper wire. [Check the red eyes - with your mouse]
The end wall of the display became covered by thousands of sheep - each one
with the name of a visitor. The display illustrated how each of us is called by name.
Yorkshire Church on Show has its own website.
Yorkshire Church
on Show is supported by the Anglican Dioceses of Bradford, Ripon and
Leeds, Sheffield, Wakefield and York, along with the Baptist Union, Quaker
Outreach in Yorkshire, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Leeds, the Salvation
