Prayer flags activity

Our friends at Green Christian ran this activity at the Greenbelt Festival and then in support of the Faith Bridge. It provided a way for churches and groups to participate in the faith bridge even if they were not able to be there in person.

We have used different colours for different emotions, so that making a flag becomes a way to creatively express our emotions about the climate crisis.
