In our groups we disscussed how people, events and memories can play a role in creating the person we are today. We also talked about our beliefs and values and how we can affirm our belief in others as well as ourselves. We ended our day with a prayer service which the whole group organised.
Focus:
For the 'Focus' at our prayer service we decided to make a river, as it represents our life. On one side the lit candles represent people who follow God, on the other side of the river are unlit candles on a rough bank which represents the people who have not heard of God. There is also a bridge in the middle allowing people the opportunity to cross over to the lit side.
Music:
We picked Fast Car by Tracey Chapman as it talks about starting from nothing to making something of your life, having hope and faith in life.
Our second song was Just the way you are by Bruno Mars because God loves us the way we are.
Scripture: We picked this scripture, 'I know the plans I have for you' (Jer:29:11), because it relates to what we were doing in our groups today; talking about the future and where we see God in this.
Prayers:
Dear God,
Please pray for those who suffer from terminal illnesses.
Give them and their families the strength and courage to cope through these hard times.
Give them and their families the strength and courage to cope through these hard times.
Please help them to have faith that they will get through it.
Lord hear us
Father Almighty,
We pray for the people who suffer from poverty and corrupution,
may you shower them with blessings,
and happiness as they live their everyday lives.
Ease their suferings and help them find joy inside their hearts.
We pray this through Christ, Our Lord.
Amen
Lord Almighty,
We pray for peace in our world.
We pray for our families and friends and those who have asked us to pray for them.
O Lord, keep themsafe and healthy and bless them Lord.
Amen
Amen
Reflection:
We chose the word friendship because we all came here as a class and we got to know each other better.
Day 2
Focus: This focus represents our journey of life.
The yellow sun at the beginning of the river represents the beginning of life.
The blue material is the River of life that we journey through.
The greens parts of the focus are our experiences through life.
The candles for us ment - Light - Hope - God is hope.
We wrote the word 'End' because this is when we go home to God
Music: We chose Lean on me to start our prayer service as it reminds us all that even though it is our last year we still need to support and look out for each other.
For our second song we chose Castles in the sky because it mentions in the first line of this song 'do you ever question your life?' and we feel this is an important life questions we all need to ask.

Scripture: I know the plans I have for you (Jer:29:11):
We chose this story because of our imminent changing future. If you fear the future, don't, your friends, family, and more importantly, God, will guide you into a prosperous future, full of happiness.
