Gather
Today is an opportunity to make form time feel different and distinct. You could use some instrumental music such as the clip below, or any other calm relaxing music if you would prefer.
We begin our time together as we invite you to make the Sign of the Cross
R./ In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The opening prayer can be led by anyone, yourself or a volunteer, you could even crate a rota for each week so everyone gets a turn.
Let us pray,
Lord Jesus Christ,
You teach us that all of us are loved and seen by you.
Help us listen to your Words of blessing today, and help us take to heart your message of love for all those in our society, particularly the neglected.
In your name we pray,
Amen.
The Word
Every time we come together we’ll explore a different part of God’s story, starting at the beginning and journeying through the year. Again, there is an opportunity for anyone who feels comfortable to read the scripture (image on the left) out loud.
You could then have a period of silence to think about what you’ve heard or discuss what you’ve read as a class.
Response
Each week we’ll respond to the scripture in different ways, so play the video below and follow along to explore this chapter of our story.
Mission
We’ve heard how we can live out our faith today in the video, think about what this might mean for you as we share the closing prayer – again anyone can lead this with the class
Let us pray,
Lord Jesus Christ,
We know we are blessed
Help us to share your message of love, and your Word of blessing with those we meet today, not just those we know, but all those we come across, particularly the neglected.
In your name we pray,
Amen.
We end our time together as we invite you to make the Sign of the Cross
R./ In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
