Psalm 126 (a version for today)
It was a golden age, like living in a dream;
our mouths overflowed with laughter,
and our tongues sang with joy.
All the people round about said,
"The LORD has done a great thing for them."
The LORD had indeed done a great thing for us
and we were overjoyed,
happy as we had never known.
O LORD, restore us again,
like the creek-beds outback:
when those who sowed with sweat and tears
shall reap with shouts of gladness,
when our journey in a broken world
shall give way to abundant joy.
During Lent the primary focus of these creative moments is on the lections from the Hebrew Scripture, in which we see God's steadfast, sure love expressed in covenant, promise and abundant provision.
Create a banner/graphic depicting last week's symbol of unleavened bread to add to the banners/graphics from the previous three weeks. This week's symbols of water and earth could be simply a jug of water and small pile of soil placed on the worship centre.
