God is like...

In Room 6 Religious Education we are currently studying the Holy Spirit. We've been looking at some Old Testament stories and how the people in the Old Testament saw and understood God. We've discovered they thought he was like a Shepherd, a Father, a Light, a Creator, a River giving life, a Mighty Warrior, like a Bird looking after and teaching its chicks. Here's how we've shown some of these wonderful ideas of God, enjoy!
