A reading from the holy gospel according to Matthew (24:42-44) Jesus said to his disciples, "Be on your guard! You don't know when your Lord will come. Homeowners never know when a thief is coming, and they are always on guard to keep one from breaking in. Always be ready! You don't know when the Son of Man will come." The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. Let us pray for a change of heart that brings us closer to God. (pause) God of all wisdom, nourish us with your word of life and inspire us to live generous lives. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. We Gather We Listen Today we are going to present our scripture story as a chorus play, which uses both a leader (teacher) and a chorus (the class). A chorus play not only retells the story but also an interpretation of it. ---------------------------------------- Jesus said to his disciples... Be ready! Whatever you are doing... Be ready! Be ready to do what God wants, just... Be ready! Be ready to help others. Are you ready? We're ready! Be ready to forgive. Are you ready? We're ready! Be ready to be kind and friendly. Are you ready?
