history/storytelling | psalm 136 [stones - put stone on cairn][steve] |
cry for help | psalm 40 [list - people for prayer][mike] |
each station has full text of psalm [mike to download from biblegateway.com and print at A3]
then call people back together, present responses from the stations as appropriate
prayers
[from ps40 list, thanksgiving, etc]
end - structures:
give out jason's stuff - written or diagram [steve]
ask people to write psalm or do picture or stuff for next time
ask people to arrive early for Psalms 2, if possible to email stuff to us before service so we know how to plan and how much extra material to have
