==== 7:00 - 7:03 ====
Entrance Song:
Chorus
Bind us together, Lord,
Bind us together, With cords that cannot
be broken. Bind us together, Lord, Bind us together,
Bind us together with Love.
Welcome;
Ask: Does anyone remember what we were talking about last week? <how God uses regular people like us to tell about him, how we need to believe in Jesus> What is the word that means the same as “Believe”? <Faith>
Explain: Today we are going to talk some more about Faith.
Ask: Has anyone here ever been on a trip before? <allow a few minutes for discussion> Did you take a lot of stuff with you? <discuss> Did you ever find that you were so busy taking care of your things that you missed some of the fun?
Explain: Jesus sent his friends out to tell everyone about him but... he told them to “pack lightly” so that they could concentrate on others and not themselves.
Ask: What might that mean to us? <focus on sharing God’s love rather than spending time worrying about other things, believing that God will take care of our needs>
//V// In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
//R// Amen.
//V// May The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
And the love of God,
And the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
//R// And with Your Spirit.

Liturgy of the Word
First Reading
A prepared child comes to takes the first reading or second reading..
The 1st reading tells the story of a man named
Amos who listened to God and did what God told
him to do. Amos was just an ordinary farmer but
God chose him to tell some important people
about things that would happen to the Israelites.
The first reading today is taken from the letter of Amos 7:10-15
Amos and Amaziah
10 Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, then sent a report to King Jeroboam of Israel: “Amos is plotting against you among the people. His speeches will destroy the country. 11 This is what he says: ‘Jeroboam will die in battle, and the people of Israel will be taken away from their land into exile.’”
12 Amaziah then said to Amos, “That's enough, prophet! Go on back to Judah and do your preaching there. Let them pay you for it. 13 Don't prophesy here at Bethel any more. This is the king's place of worship, the national temple.”
14 Amos answered, “I am not the kind of prophet who prophesies for pay. I am a herdsman, and I take care of fig trees. 15 But the Lord took me from my work as a shepherd and ordered me to come and prophesy to his people Israel.
“This is the word of the Lord”
All say “Thanks be to God”.
.Welcoming the Gospel
..with Alleluia!! -
Welcoming the Gospel
You are welcome Lord of Lords, You are welcome King of Kings You are welcome Lord of Hosts You are welcome Prince of Peace.. You are welcome here, Alle-lluia, Alle..lluia Might God!!!
Silently say: ”Cleanse my heart and my lips, almighty God, that I may worthily proclaim your Holy Gospel.

Let us focus on our responsorial Psalm:
< Lord, show us your mercy and
love, and grant us your salvation..>

The Lord be with You,
AND with your Spirit
Gospel Reading: The Gospel reading is from the book of ...” Mark 6:7-13
We are going to do something that everyone does in the big church. We make three little crosses - 1 on our forehead- 1 on our lips - and 1 on our hearts. (forehead),We are asking God to help us understand His words , (lips) to help us tell others about His word and (heart) live His word. When we do this, we say : Glory to You, O Lord Jesus Christ.
7 He called the twelve disciples together and sent them out two by two. He gave them
authority over the evil spirits 8 and ordered them, “Don't take anything with you on the trip except a walking stick—no bread, no beggar's bag,
no money in your pockets. 9 Wear sandals, but don't carry an extra shirt.” 10 He also told them,
“Wherever you are welcomed, stay in the same
house until you leave that place. 11 If you come to a town where people do not welcome you or will not listen to you, leave it and shake the dust off your feet. That will be a warning to them!”
12 So they went out and preached that people
should turn away from their sins. 13 They drove out many demons, and rubbed olive oil on many sick people and healed them.
The Gospel of the Lord”
“Glory and praise to you Lord, Jesus Christ”
(*)Tell an interesting story according to the Gospel and children’s level of understanding like in the
Gospel reflection: here below.
==== 7:19 - 7:24 ====
When was the last time you went away? What did you take with you? How do you think you would like to go away without any clean clothes, any toys or books, any money to spend?
The disciples had nothing – it must have been very difficult. And without food or money to buy food, they could have been very hungry. They had to rely on the people they met along the way being kind and generous, inviting the disciples to stay with them and share their food.
What is one thing that you think God would like for you to quit worrying about?

Profession of our faith
I believe in God the Father, Almighty,
creator of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord:
--bow down--
Who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary:
Suffered under Pontius Pilate;
was crucified, died and was buried:
He descended into hell:
The third day he rose again from the dead:
He ascended into heaven,
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty: From there He will come to judge the leaving and the dead:
I believe in the Holy Spirit:
the holy catholic church:
the communion of saints:
The forgiveness of sins:
The resurrection of the body:
And the life everlasting.
Amen.
