Workshop Brainstorms

Building/Art

Collage of things that we 'build' today to keep people safe. Ezra/Nehemiah rebuilt the walls/temple.

Walls built out of people and things in the church.

A large wall-size collage showing Temple Walls/Pillars made out of people (pictures of people in your church)

Cooking:

Feast of the Tabernacles (aka "Shelters") celebrated after Ezra's reading of the Law (Nehemiah 8)

Sewing/Drama:

Make sackcloth and dramatize the "sackcloth and ashes" scene described in Nehemiah which occurs after Ezra's reading of the law, and the feast. (Flour is a good substitute)

"Sackcloth and ashes" is rich and familiar biblical imagery, and is common metaphor in English speaking cultures as well.

See Neil's Video suggestion and outline in the Video Workshop listing in this forum.
