St Neots Parish Church

On Sunday 22 November, St Mary’s Youth Group led our evening worship with a production based on Christ’s parable of The Good Samaritan. Using the whole floor area at the front of the church, they set the story in St Neots Market Square at 11pm on a Saturday night. A fight between rival gangs breaks out and a young man is left for dead. Ignored by a lawyer on her way home after a late night at the office, and by two policeman going off shift, the boy is helped by an unlikely looking Samaritan in the form of a teenage hoodie who summons the paramedics on a borrowed mobile.

Thanks to all the members of SMYG and leader, Linda Browne for making us think afresh about this well-known story and for making us think about who are the stereotypical outcasts in our own time.
