Children's Liturgy Sunday October 12th 2008.

Sunday October 12th 2008
In our liturgy today, we listened to the story Jesus told (St. Matthew 22: 1-14) of how a king invited all the important people to the feast; but because they were so important, they didn't turn up. Then the king sent his servants to invite all the ordinary people instead.

We thought about all of the ordinary things we do and use every day- even though they are ordinary things, they are still important to us in our lives.

We made signs for each of us to wear. The signs say what we do as ordinary people- things that still matter, because they help others.
We even made a sign for Father John. He is an ordinary man, but he serves God as a priest.

Dear Jesus,
Sometimes we ignore the ordinary things you have given us and take them for granted.

When you were on earth, you did ordinary things and you thought they were great.

You met lots of ordinary people and thought they were fantastic.

Help us to enjoy all the ordinary things as well.
Amen.
