Mothers day service

I wonder...I am thinking aloud about a possibility for an upcoming church service... this is intentionally a children's service for us. That means for me that we will be seeking to have the message be appropriate for children. The day's Gospel speaks of Jesus as the vine and ourselves as the branches.

I wonder if we could make this visual? Would it be possible to stretch some type of string or rope from some type of centerpiece to every row in the church. If we were able to do it would it then be possible to hand out small sections of string to each parishioner and have them tie it on the main rope (vine) so to speak. Thus the center of the sermon would be the implied and demonstrated reality that we are all tied together and only effective if we as a community are tied to Christ.

We could even decorate the doors leading into the sanctuary with vines, leaves, and grapes.

I might even come out in farmer clothes....

hmmmmmm?
