Go with God

Adult & All Age

Go with God

Consider together what you have explored, what that means for you and how you will live your faith this week

All age act of worship Session
  • We have thought about the choices we made during the past week. We have considered some practical steps we might take now and in the future. Invite people, in pairs, to share insights into how this might affect choices we know we have to make in the coming week. Will we choose darkness or light?

 

 

Go with God 24/7

Encourage everyone to put their faith into action

Look for and/or plan opportunities to put into practice some of the practical steps identified during today’s worship that show we choose light rather than darkness. Review and update your list on a regular basis.

Childrens Session
Very young childrens Session

Sing

To the tune: Twinkle, twinkle, little star

Farewell friends, as we depart,
keep these stories in our hearts.
Through these days of Lent we know,
that our faith in God may grow.
Through temptations in our days,
be like Jesus through our ways.

 

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

Consider together what you have explored, what that means for each of you and how it might influence your daily lives. 

  • Go back to the definitions of ‘eternal’ from Share the Word and invite the young people to write these, or just the word ‘eternal’ onto a stone.

     Play the track Trust in You, Lauren Daigle on How Can It Be, during this activity.

  • Invite everyone to take their stone away as a reminder of God’s promise of eternal life.

 

Go with God 24/7

Look up this week and notice things you don’t normally see. Keep a journal about what you see and how this changes your perspective.
