Disciples’
Generous Response
Focus Moment: Wants and Needs, Generosity
Provide two baskets
labeled WANTS and NEEDS. Provide index cards and pencils so
participants can write down responses. Have them consider these questions:
·
What is something you want?
·
What are the things you need?
Write down their responses and place the cards in the appropriate basket. When everyone is finished, read the cards from each basket aloud.
Have a conversation
about the concepts of wants and needs.
·
Were there responses you didn’t agree with?
·
How do you decide what is a want versus a need?
·
What is giving?
·
What is generosity?

naparabur.

No ta pangbiagmo mariribocca,
Ket ta panunot pacapsutennaca,
Bendicionna bilangem a saggaysa,
Agsiddaawcanto ti caaduda.
Coro:
Dayta bendicion mot’ bilangem,
Ayat ti Dios inca kitaen,
Bendicionna inca bilangem,
Adu nga ayatna inna inteden,
Maricnam unay dagsen ta awitmo,
Dayta cruzmo bantotnat’ napalalo,
No bilangem bendicionna nga adu,
Danag pumanaw ragsac sumucatto.
No dagiti dadduma nabacnangda,
Lagipen ti cari ni Cristo kenca,
Paraburna di magatadan kwarta,
Sanicuat’ diay Gloria awan servina.
No adda ka tengngat’ pagbabacalan,
Ti Dios ngad ‘ isu

Ti paraburna angeles ammoda,
Ayat ken tulongna di agpatingga.
574 Touch
Me, Lord, with Thy Spirit Eternal
Touch
me, Lord, with thy Spirit eternal;|
stir my soul to respond to thy call.
Take my love, for I offer it freely;
hear my prayer as I thank thee for all.
Hear my prayer as I thank thee for all.
Teach
me, Lord, to walk humbly before thee;
may I hasten thy will to obey.
Make me wise to see clearly thy purpose;
keep me true to my calling, I pray.
Keep me true to my calling, I pray.
Fill
me, Lord, with thine infinite power;
make me firm, make me pure, make me whole.
With thy Spirit to strengthen and guide me,
I shall serve thee with all of my soul.
I shall serve thee with all of my soul.
651 Send Me
Forth
Send me forth with Christ’s commission; fill
my soul with new resolve.
Let my hands and feet be agents of God’s grace,
and with love I will erase the lines of prejudice and hate.
I will share enduring values of my faith.
Call me forth (call me forth) to active
service (call me forth)
and my prompt response shall be, “Here am I, send me!”
Hand in hand we’ll work together building peace and harmony.
We will share the peace of Jesus with all we see.
Melt my fears and trepidations! Grant me
courage for life’s path.
Set my eyes on new horizons to pursue,
and with joy I will proclaim God’s love in all I say and do.
I will join each helping hand to make life new.
Be a voice of transformation, gentle hands to
help and heal.
Be an ear to hear creation’s wounded plea.
Be a friend to those who have no friend and in God’s blessed name
we will demonstrate God’s dream for unity.
This Is God’s Wondrous World
This is God’s wondrous world,
and to my listening ears
all nature sings, and round me rings
the music of the spheres.
This is God’s wondrous world;
I rest me in the thought
of rocks and trees, of skies and seas,
God’s hand the wonders wrought.
This is God’s wondrous world;
the birds their carols raise,
the morning light, the lily white,
declare their Maker’s praise.
This is God’s wondrous world;
God shines in all that’s fair.
In rustling grass or mountain pass,
God’s voice speaks everywhere.
This is God’s wondrous world;
oh, let me ne’er forget
that though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the Ruler yet.
This is God’s wondrous world;
why should my heart be sad?
Let voices sing, let the heavens ring;
God reigns, let earth be glad!
