Sunday 19 - Year A

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.

A CREATIVE MOMENT - Genesis 37:1-4, 12-28 and Matthew 14:22-33
Joseph is sold and ends up in Egypt. Symbols in the worship space could include 20 pieces of silver and a rope. These could be placed on a swathe of colourful material.
For the gospel, a paper-fold boat could provide an appropriate focus, but I know of one congregation where a small lightweight metal dinghy was brought into the worship space which had been "carpeted" with blue cloth. The gospel reading was acted out by the terrified disciples in the boat, abd Jesus walking on the "water".
