Ned played Jesus in a school assembly today, with the class thinking about the Body and Blood of Christ (as above in Latin), and how it came about from the Last Supper.
Ned was great - he spoke slowly and clearly, audible even when he had turned his back to the audience while he 'distributed' bread and wine, though he did fumble the glass at one point and nearly drop it - fortunately, it was empty! He also looked radiant in his gown and tea towel, borrowed from Dylan who had played Jesus on the previous two occasions and was seriously in danger of being type cast!!
I wonder how Ned's faith journey will turn out ? I hope he is more consistent than I am.
I am so proud of him - at the weekend we were in the North East of England (Yarm) for a 40th birthday party - a 500 mile round trip just to party! J&S are great friends and I love them. Ned and a couple of similar aged pals ran the bar in the garden: arranging glasses, distributing beers, opening wine, pouring drinks, checking stock in the paddling pool, clearing up. They loved it and did a fab job - it's great when kids are involved in a family do. Ned's dad was fetching him burgers, when not DJing, and it strikes me that we shared bread and wine together on Saturday night - a different sacrament perhaps, but not without its own meaning and significance.
