2 Gather The Lord be with you And also with you

3 Receive As Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea -- for they were fishermen. And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fish for people." Immediately they left their nets and followed him. From the Gospel according to Matthew, Chapter 4, verses 18-19

4 Explore Though Andrew is named among the apostles in the Gospels. Andrew was a Galilean fisherman, mending his nets, when Jesus called him to follow him, which he did. He then seems to have remained with Jesus until the end. He was there at the feeding of the five thousand and then later, when some Greeks in Jerusalem wanted to see Jesus, Philip brought them to Andrew who told Jesus of their desire. Tradition has him travelling on several missionary journeys and eventually being martyred by being crucified on an X-shaped cross. He became the patron saint of Scotland because of a legend that his relics had been brought there in the eighth century.

5 Explore Some discussion ideas …
Would you be prepared to leave the job you had trained to do for something that you believed your faith was calling you to do – if yes, why? Activity suggestion … Design a St Andrew’s flag to display in your classroom. Video suggestion … St Andrew – Patron Saint of Scotland

6 Respond Almighty God, who gave such grace to your apostle Saint Andrew that he readily obeyed the call of your Son Jesus Christ    and brought his brother with him: call us by your holy Word, and give us grace to follow you without delay    and to tell the good news of your kingdom. Amen

7 Go Let us bless the Lord Thanks be to God
