Song
Praise the Lord with the sound of trumpet (CH4)
Prayer
How many shades of green did you think of?
How many bird songs have you written?
How many rainbows did you try before you got what you wanted?
How many shapes of new babies eyes do you sculpt in a day?
How many insects have you hidden in the world?
How did you make all the really small stuff?
How much fun was a giraffe to make?
How long does it take you do design every fingerprint?
How do you make all our voices sound different?
And where did you hide our souls?
Do you count our heartbeats?
And what made you think of love?
God, for this world
for the world’s people
for the adventures that lie in everyone
and the day before us
Hear us as we say alleluia.
So be it
Small Shout: Lord’s Prayer in different versions
Heavenly Dad,
may the world honour your name,
and may the justice you long for, happen.
Feed the hungry with bread for their bellies
and truth for their minds.
As we heal broken relationships with others
May you do the same with us.
And may the testing never be too much for us,
but keep us safe,
for you hold all the glory and the power
of the entire universe,
In a single hand.
Amen
(Based on a prayer from Dare to Dream)

Story told by Jonah
20-20 Vision
People take sheets of tissue paper and tear them into different shapes and stick them round the worship space.
Song
If you’re black or if you’re white
Or if you’re in between,
God loves you.
If you’re tall or if you’re small
Or if you’re fat or lean,
God loves you.
He loves you when you’re happy,
He loves you when you’re sad.
He loves you when you’re very good
And when you’re very bad.
No matter what you look like,
No matter what you do,
God loves you, oh hallelujah!
God loves you, oh sock it to ya!
God loves you !
(Shooby, dooby, dooby doo. Do-wah!)
(Gospelling the Beat Book 1)

As people leave they make a footprint from the pool on the floor symbolising moving from the water to dry land and listening to God’s call to move onto the journey.
Prayer for others
Song
I rejoiced when I heard them say (CH4)
Sending Out
May the sky stretch above you;
may your day be as deep as it is long;
may each breath you take expand with grace;
and may God whisper you name,
loudly.
