RESPOND Form groups of four or five students. In your groups, create freeze frame movements to represent today’s reading. As your teacher slowly rereads the reading, silently move between the freeze frames you have designed, as smoothly and calmly as you can. GO OUT May Christ our Light bring us joy. Amen. May God bless us in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. LISTEN GATHER Let us pray that we will turn confidently to God when we need help. (pause) God of love and protection, give us courage to trust in you and hear us when we call to you in prayer. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. A reading from the Acts of the Apostles (4:10-12) Peter told the nation’s leaders and the elders: “You put Jesus to death on a cross, but God raised him to life. He is the stone that you builders thought was worthless, and now he is the most important stone of all. Only Jesus has the power to save! His name is the only one in all the world that can save anyone.” The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. 161
