Second Sunday of Lent

Alleluia, Alleluia,Christ is with us

He is with us indeedAlleluia

And so we gather. In the name of the Father…

Mr. Wood

Walk with me, oh my LordThrough the darkest night

And brightest day.Be at my side, oh Lord,

Hold my hand and guide meOn my way.

1. Sometimes the road seems long, My energy is spent. Then, Lord, I think of you And I am given strength

2. Stones often bar my path, And there are times I fall, But you are always there To help me when I call.

3. Just as you calmed the wind And walked upon the sea Conquer, my living Lord The storms that threaten me.

4. Help me to pierce the mists That cloud my heart and mind, So that I shall not fear The steepest mountain-side.

5. As once you healed the lame And gave sight to the blind Help me when I'm downcast To hold my head up high.

God of mercy, you ask us to listen to your Son, Jesus.

Open our ears to hear yourWord and fill our hearts with

your love so that we may changeour lives and the lives of others.

You come to us in light,Lord have mercy. Lord, have mercy. You bring us out of the shadows, Christ have mercy. Christ, have mercy.

You send us to share your love, Lord have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Mark

Glory to you, Oh Lord

The Gospel of the Lord

Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ

I wonder what you heard in the Gospel today?

Why do you think Jesus led his disciples to a mountain top?

How do you think the disciples felt when they saw the changes that had happened to Jesus?

Why did Jesus want them to share this special moment with him?

Mr. Wood

After Jesus’ transfiguration, he told Peter, James and John to listen to his instructions very carefully. He told

them not to tell anyone what they had seen on the mountain that day. He knew they would only

understand what this had meant after He had died on the cross and been resurrected.

The letters in the word LISTEN

can be made into the wordSILENT

and when we are silent we can listen to God

So for a few moments we are going to be silent and in our hearts pray and talk to

God. He will listen to us and we must try and listen to Him

Mrs Quarmby Burt

Knowing that our Heavenly Father is listening,

in the silence of our hearts,

let us share our own unspoken prayers with Him.

Let us say this prayer together

Loving Father, Jesus came to change our lives

and transform them with his love.

Help us to become more like him a we grow

closer to you and one another.

We make our prayers through Christ our Lord

AmenMrs Murray

1.Longing for light, we wait in darkness.Longing for truth, we turn to you.Make us your own, your holy people,Light of the world to see.

2. Longing for peace, our world is troubled.Longing for hope, many despair.Your word alone has pow’r to save us.Make us your living voice.

3. Longing for food, many are hungry,Longing for water, many still thirst.Make us your bread, broken for others,shared until all are fed.

4. Longing for shelter, many are homeless,Longing for warmth, many are cold.Make us your building, sheltering others,walls made of living stones.

5. Many the gifts, many the people,many the hearts that yearn to belong.Let us be servants to one another,making your kingdom come.

Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts.Shine through the darkness. Christ, be our light!Shine in your Church gathered today.
