Janet Lees Spring 2016 Tune: Theodoric (R and S 274) Song for Pilots Janet Lees Spring 2016 Tune: Theodoric (R and S 274)

Children saved ship half pennies to buy the ‘John Williams’ missionary ships; not just one but seven

Pilot badge – round for the world, sea us rough, boat if for ‘John Williams’ but also for Jesus’ disciples who were fishermen who had a boat and all the stories that link Jesus to boats; fish symbol is an old symbol for Christians, mast is a cross, central to our faith, keeps us stable.

This a lego version of the Pilot badge from Yorkshire Synod Office.
