Children’s Liturgy Sunday, November 21st 2010.
| The
Feast of CHRIST THE KING..
|
|
| The feast of Christ the King was introduced
into the church’s year in 1925, to remind everyone what was really
important in life. Many political leaders were seeking to rule for the
sake of power alone and Pope Pius wanted to keep Jesus as the example
of how to live.
Next week we will be in Advent, when we really prepare to celebrate
Jesus’ coming to earth for us at Christmas.
As our Advent project, we will be travelling on Safari to Zimbabwe.
Our Bethlehem this year will be at Mother of Peace Community, where
we will find our friends, the children orphaned by AIDS. To reach them
we will need to journey across our church, from the starting point on
the right of the altar, all the way along the altar steps to St. Joseph’s
chapel, where we will see the village at Mutoko and Chigona, the Holy
Mountain. How will we travel? We will fill the space with the animals,
flowers and birds of Zimbabwe.
We have started out today, by creating some animals- the elephant, a
zebra, some rhinos and many more- and a flame lily, the national flower.

Please help to reach our destination by sponsoring
an animal, plant or bird. Just tell a liturgy leader or Father John which
you would like to be and make a donation, so that we can help the children
in the New Year. You will find clipboards in the narthex, where you can
place your order. Also, you can remember someone you love this Christmas
by writing their name - plus a small photo, if you wish - and we will
make them a star in the sky over the manger.
We intend to place our dear friend, Father David, over the place he loved
so much, and the lion he chose for our crib with the Holy family.

Dear Lord please
bless our efforts as we set out together. May we find you at the end
of our road.
Amen. |
