1:9
Get Ready to Celebrate Draw a picture of yourself and make a frame for it like the one pictured here.  Pray to Jesus Jesus, I know that You are my friend. And I want to be Your friend to the end In good times and bad, In all that I do, Help me, dear Jesus, To stay close to you. Celebrate Jesus
Reader: Jesus said, "You are my followers. You did not choose
me. I chose you. I want you to tell others about me." From
John 15:16, 27
Leader: We come together today as friends of Jesus. Let us join our voices as we pray to Jesus. Hold your picture up as you sing a song about being followers with Jesus. Sing to tune of "Yankee Doodle Dandy." We are followers of Jesus. Jesus chose us for his own. Good friends that care and want to share their love, Working to make friendships grow. We are followers of Jesus. Jesus chose us for his own. Oh, we are sent to tell how Jesus loves and cares for people. We tell the news of his great love. All: Jesus, send us wherever you want us to go. Be with us as we spread your Good News. Amen! Amen! Return to Spirituality Resources Index www.sadlier.com/main.htm
