Children's Liturgy, Sunday April 19th 2009
The
Second Sunday of Easter |
|
Today in our liturgy, we talked about all the things
we experience with joy in our lives because Jesus gave his life for
us. We made thank you cards, with our own messages of thanks for everything
we have.

We placed the cards around
the model of the empty tomb which the flower ladies had made. Inside
the tomb, you can see the cloths which remind us that on Easter morning,
Jesus' body had gone from the tomb, but the cloths which had been wrapped
around his dead body remained where they were.

Jesus died to show how much God loves us.
Dear friends,
Let us love one another, because love comes from God. Whoever loves
is a child of God. Whoever does not love does not know God; for God
is love.
|
|
 |
|
God showed his love for us by sending his only
Son into the world so that we might have life through him. Help us to
know Thee more clearly, love Thee more dearly and follow Thee more nearly,
Lord, day by day.
Amen.
We had another celebration of new life this morning, as one of our liturgy
leaders brought her new baby daughter to church for the first time. Congatulations
to all the family! |

as it is the Eighth day of Easter. Here are things to think about this
week. |
