Sunday 32 - Year C
 
Psalm 145:1,17-21 (Jeff's Version for Today)
I will exalt you, my God;
and bless your name for ever and ever.
Every day I will bless you;
and praise your name for ever and ever.
You are great, LORD God, and greatly to be praised;
your greatness is unserachable.
Generation to generation will praise your doings;
and declare your mighty deeds.
They will speak of the glory of your splendour;
I will meditate on your marvellous works.
You are just in all your ways, O LORD;
and faithful in all your doings.
You are near to all who call on you;
to all who call on you in truth.
You take care of the desires of all who fear you;
their cry for help you will hear, and you will save them.
O LORD, you watch over all who love you;
the wicked you will destroy.
My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD;
and all flesh will bless your holy name.

A CREATIVE MOMENT - Luke 20:27-38
Wrap a potted bush, shrub or small tree in read/orange cellophane and backlight the whole to give a representation of "the burning bush" (to which Jesus refers in the reading). In that story God says to Moses "I am who I am" or "I will be who I will be" (both are possible translations of the Hebrew). For the God who is and will always be, all are alive.
