Focus
We chose the word Faith because even if you're fighting with your best friend you need to have faith in each other and know it's wrong to be fighting with each other.
You also need to have faith in God because even through the toughest times he's always with you.
We chose Beautiful for our prayer service because everybody is different in their own way.
We chose You've Got a Friend in Me because everyone needs a good friend who is always there for you.
Scripture Reading - The Good Samaritan
We picked this scripture because it shows us how some people don't care and how some people give up their time for others.
We should use this example in our own lives.
Dear God
Please help my family and my cousin
'cause he is having a hard time
because he was so close to her and she is in hospital.
I wish that everyone can just be friends instead of fighting
and for my friend's granda because he is sick in hospital.
Amen
Dear God
Look over the ill and the homeless
so that they will be ok.
Lord hear us
Dear God
Please pray for everyone who is doing their summer tests
and pray for them to try their best and not to be nervous or stressed.
Hope they succeed.
Amen
Dear God
Thank you for all my family and all of my friends.
Bless the people who don't have family for support like us.
Lord hear us
Dear God
May all the people who are lonely and need a friend
find a good friend and never be lonely.
Amen
Focus
We chose to make this focus because it is our world and we need to work together to make a better and safer world for generations to come and as Jesus has asked us to do. We should always respect Jesus and others around us.
As you can see, the friendship chain is in the middle of the world because we make up the world.
Music
We chose Ugly by Sugarbabes because everyone is different and no one is going to be perfect. We are all the same but different in our ways.
We chose Beautiful by the Glee Cast because it's a good way to show what other people think of them, and nothing should bring you down, you're perfect.
Scripture Reading - Jn 20
We chose this reading because it reminds us of ourselves. Jesus gives the disciples the confidence that we received in our Confirmation through the Holy Spirit.
Prayers
We will start with the sign of the cross

and help them build their lives and communities up again.
Reunite them with lost family members and help fix their broken hearts.

Help us with our friendships.
Help us make new friends that will love us as you do.
Help us to look after our friends, and they look after us.
Response - God be with us
