St Joseph's Lisburn

We really enjoyed having St. Joesph's Primary School at our centre. We had brilliant conversations about moving on to a new secondary school, and it was interesting to find out that everyone felt the same way.
It was good to see the classes come together and support each other.
We also  talked about the different ways we can communicate with God; mediating, drawing and singing songs.
 Music
For our Prayer Service we chose Man in the Mirror because it's about trying to make a difference in their lives. Instead of complaining about other people we have to start changing ourselves first. Just listen to the words.


 Scripture - Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd I have everything I need

He gives me time to be quiet and to relax 

He shows me the right way to go

even when bad things happen I will not be afraid

because God will help me get through difficult things

His love will be with me all of my life

and I will be welcome in God's house as long as I live








 Music
We choose Michaels Jackson's song 'Man in the Mirror' because it sends a message to respect the world and to make a change.


Scripture - Psalm 23
                                                        
 The lord is my shepherd I have everything I need
 He gives me time to be quiet and to relax
He shows me the right way to go
Even when bad things happen I will not be afraid
because God will help me get through difficult things
His love will be with me all of my life

and I will be welcome in God's house as long as I live






St.Finians and St.Mary Primary School

Today we talked about being on a journey in our lives.  We talked about what our journey has been like so far and where we can find God on this journey. There were many special and  funny memories. It was good to share them.
We also talked about the choices we make in life and how God can help us to make good ones. 


 Scripture - Psalm 23
 
The Lord is my shepherd I have everything I need
He gives me places to be calm and peaceful 
He gives me inner strength to do good things
He shows me the right way to go
Even when bad things happen, I will not be afraid
For God is with me to help me get through difficult things 
I know God's love will be with me all my life
And I will always be welcome in God,s house as long as I live
