A Prayer for Young People God our Father, you see your children growing up in an unsteady and confusing world: Show them that your ways give more life than the ways of the world, and that following you is better than chasing after selfish goals. Help them to take failure, not as a measure of their worth, but as a chance for a new start. Give them strength to hold their faith in you, and to keep alive their joy in your creation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ~ Book of Common Prayer |

The children will then be exploring this passage further in Sunday School. It will always be one of the readings that the adults will hear in worhsip. We hope this will help your whole family to learn together and to grow in your relationship to God.

Sunday, May 19, 2019 (Fifth Sunday of Easter )
John 13:31-35At the last supper, when Judas had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, 'Where I am going, you cannot come.' I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
Question: At the Last Supper Jesus gave us a new commandment: to love one another. It is by this that the world will know that we are Jesus’ disciples. How can you practice loving others in our parish family? Is that easy or hard? What can you do to work on it?
