Alleluia, Alleluia

I wonder what you heard in the Gospel today? Do you think the disciples knew each other? Do you think they knew who Jesus was? What do you think Jesus meant when He said he would make the disciples ‘fishers of men?’

How will we show everyone we are followers of Jesus? We invite each class to place their class pledge on our focal point Please be ready to read your pledge to our gathering Mrs. Dodd and Mrs. Jerrett

As brothers and sisters in one loving family let us pray together: The response is sung, Lord hear our prayer. We pray for the Church. May Christ’s followers today continue to share his message of love with the whole world. Lord hear our prayer. We pray for the hungry and the homeless; may we care for them as Christ expects us to do. We pray for peace in our world; may the leaders of nations reach out in friendship to one another. Mrs. Dodd

Knowing that our heavenly in the silence of our hearts let Father is listening, in the silence of our hearts let us share our unspoken prayers with Him. Year 6

leave the crops that you have grown, Follow me, follow me, leave your home and family, Leave your fishing nets and boats upon the shore. Leave the seed that you have sown, leave the crops that you have grown, leave the people you have known and follow me. 1. The foxes have their holes, and the swallows have their nests, but the son of man has no place to lay down. I do not offer comfort, I do not offer wealth, but in me will all happiness be found. 2. If you would follow me, you must leave old ways behind. You must take my cross and follow on my path. You may be far from loved ones, you may be far from home, but my father will welcome you at last. 3. Although I go away you will never be alone. for the spirit will be there to comfort you. Though all of you may scatter, each follow his own path, still the spirit of love will lead you home.
