Godly Play on the Thirteenth Sunday After Pentecost

 

Welcome to our online Godly Play circle on the Thirteenth Sunday After Pentecost.

This week we are hearing the story of St. Augustine of Hippo. Shannon is our storyteller and Brooke will help us get ready for the story. Click on the video below to watch!

If you would like to re-visit the wondering questions from the end of the video they were as follows:

  • I wonder which part was your favorite?

  • I wonder which part was most important?

  • I wonder where you are in this story or which part of this story could be about you?

  • I wonder if we could leave out any part of this story and still have all the story we need?

If you want a closer look at the map and the icon that Shannon used in her story here they are:

Here are the texts of the prayers used in the video, so you can pray them at home:

A Prayer to the Holy Spirit (attributed to St. Augustine)

Breathe in me O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy.
Strengthen me O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy.
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy. Amen.

The Collect for St. Augustine

Lord God, the light of the minds that know you, the life of the souls that love you, and the strength of the hearts that serve you: Help us, following the example of your servant Augustine of Hippo, so to know you that we may truly love you, and so to love you that we may fully serve you, whom to serve is perfect freedom; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

We are taking a break next week, but we will see you on Zoom on September 13!
