September 2015
Colour:

Theme: A Gift. Wrap a box in a gift form.
====
7:00 - 7:03 ====
Entrance Song:
Longing
for light, we wait in darkness. Longing for truth, we turn to you. Make us your
own, your holy people, light for the world to see.
Chorus
Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts. Shine
through the darkness. Christ, be our light! Shine in your church gathered
today.
Welcome;
Today we hear Jesus talk about the importance of
sharing with each other. Let’s think a bit more about this today.
Explain: Today is the Twenty-sixth Sunday of
Ordinary Time.
Introduce Theme; Present it to the children.
Say: Can anyone tell me what today’s Theme is? <hold up the theme: a gift>.
Ask: What
is a present? <something someone else gives you or does for you -
something you can give or do for someone else>
Ask: What kind of gifts does God
give us? <the children will probably say things like - parents,
toys, homes, church, pets, etc. >
Say: Today we are going to talk
about another kind of gift that God gives us, a kind that we can’t see or
touch. Another word for this kind of gift is
“talent”. Does anyone know what a talent is? A talent is
something that someone can do particularly well - like drawing or singing or
being a good friend. God gives us each many talents and He expects
us to use them for good.
//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, Introduce the reading.
Say: Today’s first reading is from the Old Testament, the
book of Numbers. (Numbers 11:25-29) Do you remember the name of the prophet who
received the ten commandments? Right!, Moses. Today’s reading
is about something that happened to the people Moses was in charge of, the
Israelites.
A prepared child comes and
takes the first reading or second reading.
The second reading today
is taken from the letter of Numbers 11:25-29
25 Then the Lord came
down in the cloud and spoke to Moses. The Lord took some of the Spirit Moses
had. And he gave it to the 70 leaders. With the Spirit in them, they
prophesied, but just that one time.
26 Two men named Eldad
and Medad were also listed as leaders. But they did not go to the Tent. They
stayed in the camp. The Spirit was given to them. So they prophesied in the
camp. 27 A young man ran to
Moses. He said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
28 Joshua son of Nun
said, “Moses, my master, stop them!” (Since he was a young boy, Joshua had been
Moses’ assistant.)
29 But Moses answered,
“Are you afraid for me? I wish all the Lord’s people could prophesy. I wish the
Lord would give his Spirit to all of them!”
“This
is the word of the Lord”
All say “Thanks
be to God”.
Let us focus on our responsorial Psalm:
< Let all
the earth cry out to God with joy...>3x.
Introduce the Gospel
Say: The Gospel selection today is from the book of Mark. (Mark
9:38-41). It tells about a conversation Jesus had with one of His
friends. Pretend that you are one of Jesus’ disciples.
Welcoming the Gospel
..with Alleluia!! - OR
Welcome the Gospel through a song.
Chorus:
Halleluiah, Halleluiah x3 Yelele yelele
Halleluiah.
1. Eyende mbele, Halleluiah x3 Yelele yelele
Halleluiah.
2.
Moto, moto, Halleluiah x3 Yelele yelele Halleluiah
Silently
say: ”Cleanse my heart and my lips,
almighty God, that I may worthily proclaim your Holy Gospel.
The
Lord be with You,
AND with your Spirit.
The Gospel Reading was
written by Mark 9:38-41 International Children’s Bible (ICB)
Let Lord’s Word be in my mind <make
a cross on forehead>, and on my lips <make a cross on lips>, and
in my heart <make a cross on the left side of the chest>
Anyone Not
Against Us Is for Us.
38 Then John said, “Teacher, we saw a
man using your name to force demons out of a person. We told him to stop,
because he does not belong to our group.”
39 Jesus said, “Don’t stop him. Anyone who uses my
name to do powerful things will not say evil things about me. 40 He who is not against us is with us. 41 I tell you the truth. If anyone helps you by giving you a
drink of water because you belong to the Christ, then he will truly get his
reward.
The Gospel of the Lord”
“Glory and praise to you Lord, Jesus Christ”
==== 7:19 - 7:24 ====
(*)Tell an
interesting story according to the Gospel and children’s level of understanding
like in the
Gospel reflection:
Ask What do you
think? What was Jesus really saying? <every little
good thing we do is important to Him, every thing good that we do is pleasing
to Him>. The good things that we do, is a kind of
sharing. Jesus wants us to share kindness with each other.
Ask the children to share peace with one another.
Then ask
them to sit quietly for a few moments and listen to God.
Invite them
to pray for peace for our friends and family, and all God’s family around the
world.
Let
us stand up to profess our faith.
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.
==== 7:24 - 7:26 ====
