THE LORD’S MY SHEPHERD (Psalm 23)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eIQQayhpak
The Lord’s my shepherd I’ll not want
He makes me lie in pastures green
He leads me by the still, still waters
His goodness restores my soul
And I will trust in You alone
And I will trust in You alone
For Your endless mercy follows me
Your goodness will lead me home.
He guides my ways in righteousness
And He anoints my head with oil
And my cup it overflows with joy
I feast on His pure delights.
And I will trust in You alone….
And though I walk the darkest path
I will not fear the evil one
For You are with me and Your rod and staff
Are the comfort I need to know.

Jesus Love Is Very Wonderful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaMVjO_GruA
Jesus love is very wonderful x 3
Oh, wonderful love.
So high, you can’t get over it,
So low, you can’t under it,
So wide, you can’t get round it,
Oh, wonderful love.
Jesus love is very wonderful x3
Oh, wonderful love.

Our God is a Great Big God https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-424MpB_pd0
Our God is a great big God.
Our God is a great big God.
Our God is a great big God
and He holds us in His hands x 2.
He’s higher than a sky-scraper.
And He’s deeper than a submarine.
He’s wider than the universe and
beyond my wildest dreams.
And He’s known me and He’s loved me
since before the world began.
How wonderful to be a part
of God’s amazing plan.

(If you think we should have chosen Father Abraham – we will have that next time. There is, however, nothing to stop you finding it on the internet!)
More about Abraham and his long journey next time.
Closing prayer.
Lord God, your kingdom come,
in joy and generosity,
in the small and the large,
in the ordinary and the special,
and to you be the glory, now and always.
Amen.
Ideas for Craft
Zoe suggests making your own family tree. Draw a tree outline – colour it too if you wish. Add pictures/photographs of your family. You could include your grandparents as well as Mum and Dad and your brothers or sisters if you have them.
Parents, you could make a map of your life’s journey to show your family where you were born and have lived and how you have come to where you are now.
We have more craft on this story for next time.
