Music:
Reach, For our prayer service we chose this song to show that anything is possible and there is no limit to what God can do, so reach for the stars.
Pack-up, We picked this song as it says pack up your troubles and throw them away and don't worry about it. We feel this is a very important message in life.
Focus:
The candle is us and Jesus Christ. The hands are all of us around Jesus. The kites are us and then the wind is Jesus.
You are the light of the world (Matt:5). We heard this today and it made us think of how we can shine our light in the lives of others.
Dear God
Please help all the people who are doing exams
Amen
Dear God
We pray for the ones who don't follow in Jesus' footsteps.
The ones who do not know what they are doing
and don't know how to lead their lives
in the way Jesus wished for them.
Pray that they are reunited with the
Holy Spirit once again. Thank you God
Amen
Dear God
I am praying to you to say
please look after our family and friends.
They are very important to us
so please look after them
Stay with us
Amen
Dear God
Look after the people in heaven
keep their families safe
and watch over them
Amen
Dear God
I hope my granny gets better.
I also hope that endangered animals stay alive.
and please pray for the people who have cancer
Amen
Dear God
Pray for all the families and keep them safe and healthy
Amen

We chose Hand of God because God is working through each one of us. The hands represent each person in our class.
We chose Pack-up because some people are worring about the transfer test so we all need to pack-up our troubles.
We also picked Your Song because in this song she is happy with how she is and that it is the simple things that make her happy.
Our focus is a garden. We made flowers with our hands. The sky represents God and the kites represent us.
Dear God
We pray for the people who are sick and sore.
we hope that they become better and get the care they need.
Lord hear us
Dear Lord

We chose the title Hands of God because we need to do work for God. We drew the world in the hands because the hands represent God and the way he holds the world up. And the hands represent all the people on the planet.
We Made a rainbow because it represents colour. We used the hands and the candles because it shows how you can shine your light and we used the kites to represent fun times.
We chose Man in the Mirror because he wants to change the way he treats people. It will encourage people to do this.
We also chose Your Song because she is not that wealthy and she is happy with what she has. So this tells us to be happy with what we have.
Lord
Help the people that lack manners to change
and let them turn to you
Lord hear us
Lord
We pray for those who are poor.
We pray that one day they will have the money for food and clothes.
We pray that you will help them survive for now, the time they need you most.
Lord hear us
Lord
We pray for all those people who are sick and help them recover.
Lord hear us

We chose this title because it ties in well with what we were doing today
Focus
We made the world because every country is different. The sun represents God. The hands represent people in the countries. The kites represent things we live.
For our prayer service we sang This Little Light of Mine because it represents the light shining in us.
We also chose Make You Feel My Love because it shows how we will show that we love God and other people because it says "when the wind is blowing in your face, and the whole world is on your case, I can offer you a warm embrace to make you feel my love."
Prayers
Dear God
Please watch over old people who are in need of help.
Give them all the help they need
Lord hear us

We chose the title Helping Hands because we all help each other in our own unique way like our hands, every hand is different.

I had a great time at the retreat. My favourite part was singing the songs Pack Up and Your song.I thought they were difficult choosing them but they were fantastic songs.
It was a great experience for me and everybody else because we had never done anything like that before.
I would also like to thank Fintan for being such a great leader and helper.

De La Salle retreat day was really fun and enjoyable. My favourite part was singing Your Song and Pack Up Your Troubles as a class. I was in the drama,I was rain. I loved doing a short drama with my friends and I hope we can do something like that again.
