Children's Liturgy, Sunday, March 21st 2010
| The
Fifth Sunday of LENT. |
|
| In the Gospel reading today Jesus is asked
to make a judgement upon a woman who has sinned. His reply turned the
judgement back onto those who asked the question, saying
" If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw
a stone at her." |
|
| At this, those who heard began to go away
one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with
the woman still standing there.
Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has
no one condemned you?"
|
"No one, sir," she said.
"Then
neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave
your life of sin." |
|
Jesus wanted people to take a good look at
their own behaviour before judging other people who may have sinned.
God of mercy, you always forgive those who are truly sorry for what they
have done wrong. You always give us another chance. Today we ask you to
help us to do what is right. We ask you this through Christ our Lord,
Amen |
|
Today we are thinking about ‘Mr Never
Sees the Good in a
Anything’ using his voice to begin a new, happy life where he can
see requirements of others and be friendly towards them. |
| |
| We have thought about people in our lives who
might appreciate a kind word from us, including the crossing patrol person,
family, friends, class peers, members of our congregation. |
