WE GATHER TO WORSHIP GOD (Psalm 105:1-5)
Give thanks to the LORD; call on the name of the LORD.
tell the world what God has done.
Sing to the LORD, and sing praises;
and tell of God's wonderful works
Glory in God's holy name
let those who seek the LORD rejoice to the core of their being.
Seek the LORD, and the strength of the LORD;
seek God's presence continually.
Remember the wonderful works,
the miracles and the judgements of the LORD
Holy is your name, O LORD.
Psalm 105:23-26
Then Israel came to Egypt;
Jacob lived as an alien in the land of Ham.
And the LORD made his people very fruitful,
and made them stronger than their foes,
whose hearts he then turned to hate his people,
to deal craftily with his servants.
He sent his servant Moses,
and Aaron whom he had chosen.
The burning bush which confronted Moses could be represented in a variety of ways, including enveloping a small potted bush in red cellophane and backlighting it with some small light. A pair of sandals strewn near the burning bush would also be appropriate.
For the gospel reading, re-use the rock from last week. A large heavy wooden cross could lie on the floor close by. Alternatively, or in addition, have prepared sufficient small crosses on or near the rock and at an appropriate invite point in worship invite the congregation to come and "take up your cross" and carry it with them.
