3. Let the light of Christ shine in our lives
Gather
The Lord be with you
And also with you
Let the light of Christ shine in our lives

4. Receive For you shall go out in joy, and be led back in peace;
the mountains and the hills before you
shall burst into song,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
From the book of Isaiah, chapter 55, verse 12

5. Engage
The underlying worship theme for this term is ‘Joy’. It is one aspect of the ‘Fruit of the Spirit’ that Paul says that we will have with the Spirit of God in our lives (Galatians 5:22-23).
Today’s bible verse comes from a passage where the writer reminds the people that God has made a covenant (a binding promise) with them and that the people need to follow the ways of God and they will find joy and peace.

6. Engage Some discussion ideas …
If you are feeling down – what brings you joy?
Do you think that a person can be joyful all the time? Why?
Does joy mean being happy or something else – what do you think?

7. Respond Amen Thank you God for your promise that you will be with us.
In difficult times
and in good times
may we have joy.
Amen

8. Go out into the world with the light of Christ
Let us bless the Lord
Thanks be to God
Go out into the world with the light of Christ
