Adult & All Age
Ideas for a focal point with adults and all ages
Decorate the worship space with question marks: a giant computer-generated question mark projected on to a screen or huge cut-out colourful question marks. Decorate service sheets with question marks or distribute card question marks.
Gathering words on questions
This week we think about questions: some that Jesus was asked and some he asked of other people. We will ask some of our own questions and think about the importance of questions in our lives.
Jesus, our Master, we gather to hear your word
Jesus, our Master, we gather to hear your word:
help us to understand all you would teach us.
Help us to live out our prayers, and,
as we long for your kingdom to come,
equip us to share the good news of Jesus
with sensitivity and grace.
Amen.
Lord Jesus, you came and lived among us
Lord Jesus, you came and lived among us.
You showed us the best way to live.
Be with us as we gather together.
Show us how to love you and other people.
Amen.
Children & Young People
Ideas for a focal point with children
Display the gold crown from last week on the purple cloth in the centre of your space. In front of the crown place a ‘heart’: a 3D ornament (safe for handling) or a homemade 2D coloured cardboard heart shape.
You will need:
- pre-cut heart shapes
- felt pens and stickers with which to decorate them.
Invite everyone to decorate a heart as they arrive.
