In the name of the +Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
The Lord be with you
and also with you
Penitential Rite (ba ba blacksheep)
Just like lost sheep we have gone astray
Done bad things and run away
So we come to say sorry
Make things better as you see
Loving Jesus make anew
Our lives so we can be like you.
Absolution (If you’re happy…)
You’re forgiven and you know it, so clap your hands
You’re forgiven and you know, so you really ought to show it,
You’re forgiven and you know it, so clap your hands
Jesus loves you and you know it, so stamp your feet
Jesus loves you and you know it, so you really ought to show it
Jesus loves you and you know it, so stamp your feet
If you believe that God forgives you, say “We do” “We do”
When you say that you are sorry, you no longer have to worry
God takes away your sin, so say “Amen”. Amen!
Collect
Let us pray…
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for all you do for us.
Help us to be a light for those who are sad
Just as you are a light for the world
Amen
Gospel
“I am the light of the world, the light that shines in the darkness”
This is the Gospel of the Lord
Praise to you, O Christ
Take a candle. Turn out all the lights. Speak of the world as dark and scary. Light candle and speak of Jesus being the light in the darkness. The darkness runs away from the light.
There is nothing so scary that the light of Christ cannot dispel. We each have a light of faith inside us. All we have to do is light them from the light of the world and there will be nothing we cannot face. Ever.
When you take your light into other places, you light up the world with the love of Jesus. Spread the light.
Peace
Here we are
One in Christ
Gathered here
Ain’t this nice?
So let us share a sign of peace
A kiss or hug before the feast…
The peace of the Lord be always with you
and also with you
Let us offer one another a sign of peace
Pray, my brothers and sisters, that this our sacrifice may be acceptable to God the almighty Father.
May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands, for the praise and glory of his name, for our good and the good of all his Church.
Prayer over the gifts
Heavenly Father, we thank you for these gifts,
Bread and Wine, fruit of the earth
We pray you will change them
as you change us
by the power of your Holy Spirit
Preface (Kum By Yah)
The Lord is here right now
His spirit with us
Lift up your hearts to him
We lift them up
It’s the right thing to do
Yes Jesus, O yes, we come in prayer
Lord of all life,
you created the universe,
where all living things reflect your glory.
You give us this great and beautiful earth,
to discover and to cherish.
You give us sun and moon and star-lit sky,
everything that gives us light,
light for our eyes, our hearts, our minds.
You made us all,
each wonderfully different,
to join with the angels
and sing your praise:
Sanctus (Kum By Yah)
Holy, Holy Lord, O Holy God
Our prayers are joined
By the Saints
Blessed is the one
Who comes in peace
Blessed is the Prince of Peace
Eucharistic Prayer 2 for Children
Father, on the night before he died,
Jesus shared a meal with his friends.
He took the bread, and thanked you.
He broke it, and gave it to them, saying:
Take and eat; this is my body, given for you.
Do this to remember me.
After the meal, Jesus took the cup of wine.
He thanked you, and gave it to them, saying:
Drink this, all of you.
This is my blood,
the new promise of God’s unfailing love.
Do this to remember me.
Memorial Acclamation (Kum By Yah)
Let us proclaim Of our faith
“Christ has died
And has arisen
Christ will come
To us again
O yes, he will return”
Father, as we offer this bread and wine,
and remember his death and resurrection,
send your +Holy Spirit,
that we who share these gifts
may be fed by Christ’s body and his blood.
Pour your Spirit on us
that we may love one another,
work for the healing of the earth,
and share the good news of Jesus,
as we wait for his coming in glory.
For honour and praise belong to you, Father,
with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit:
one God, for ever and ever.
Great Amen (Kum By Yah)
Amen, Amen
Let it be so,
Amen, Amen
Let it be so,
Amen, Amen
We say this now,
Amen, O yes, Amen!
Lord’s Prayer (Pop Goes the Weasel)
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy na-a-ame.
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us today our daily bread
Forgive us all our si-i-ns
As we forgive
all those us who sin
or trespass against us
Let us not be drawn into
Any kind of temptation
Deliver us
from the evil one
Amen, Amen, Amen.
Agnus Dei (3 blind mice)
Lamb of God, Lamb of God
You take away, the sin of the world
Have mercy on us, Lamb of God
Don’t let us stray away from the flock
You take away the sin of the world
So grant us peace
Come and eat, come and drink
You’re welcome here, come quite near
Share in his body and blood with us
It tastes like wine and bread but just
Know that inside it’s not like that
Share the food of God.
Prayer after Communion (Polly put the kettle on)
Thank you for the meal we eat
Thank you for the meal we eat
Thank you for the meal we eat
Christ brings us life
Now let us go from this place
Now let us go from this place
Now let us go from this place
To do his work
Blessing (Sing a Song of Sixpence)
The Lord be with you
And also with you
Bow your heads and pray for God’s blessing
May the Lord now +bless you
And keep you all safe
Send you out from here
In a state of grace
Take what we have learned
About Jesus our King
And do what he has taught us
To make the world a better thing.
Go, the Mass has ended
But our service has begun
We heard it straight from Jesus
What it means to live as one
With him now up in heaven
Looking from above
Blessing us in all our work
Let’s go and share his love.
The Mass is ended.
Go in the Peace of Christ.
Thanks be to God
