WE GATHER TO WORSHIP (From Psalm 71:1-6)
Come into this sacred space to worship God.
O LORD, in you I trust; never let me be shamed.
In your way of putting things right,
snatch me up and bring me to safety;
turn your ear towards me, and save me.
Come into this sacred space to worship God.
Be to me a rock for dwelling in,
a secure place
for retreating to, time and time again;
a rock for my
restoration, as you have appointed;
for you are my
rock and my stronghold.
O LORD, rescue me from the hand of the wicked,
and the hands of the
unjust and the ruthless.
Come into this sacred space to worship God.
Indeed, you are my hope, O LORD God, my trust since my
early years.
I have relied on you from the womb;
from my birth you have sustained me.
In you is my praise again, and again, and again.
This is a reading which lends itself to being dramatised. After the 'reading' have the actors also reflect on the parts they took and offer any new insights into this passage gained in being 'in the story'.
Alternatively, deliver the lection as a play-reading, and have the congregation reflect on any new insghts gained in having the reading presented in this way.
