Welcome Meet Shanti.  Her name means peace.  She lives in India.  You read her story on the front page.                 I welcome special visitors to my home with a garland, or with a white scarf which has a red border. I put it round their neck and say, "Jai Yesu!" which means "Praise Jesus!" Then I wash their hands.               Do you like the border pattern on my scarf? Make your own. Use a red marker. Design a mirror (symmetrical) pattern inside a square. Repeat to make a long border.                         How to make a welcome garland Take a used plastic bag. Cut it into 5 cm squares.  Fanfold the squares 4 times.   Take a piece of string about 1 metre long. When the squares are folded thread them one at a time through the middle on to the string. Tie the ends of the string.   Now you can welcome visitors with a garland.       Welcome to my church   Peace     How do you share peace                     Let's welcome Jesus together
