Who Touched Me?

4/1/2025

Who Touched Me? – A monologue
The woman who touched Jesus cloak 
( Mark 5:21-43, Matt.9:20-22,Luke 8:43-48)


             The lady stood near the edge of the large crowd. People had come from everywhere just to see “the Teacher. Jesus”.  The lady hesitated a moment and then she quickly covered her face with her scarf and moved forward into the pack of people. For twelve long years this woman had been very sick. Once she’d had money, friends and family close by but now all her money was spent on seeking cures from many doctors to try and make her well but still each day she felt worse!
              When she had woken up this morning the woman knew what she had to do. She had heard of Jesus. The whole village had been talking about Jesus’ teaching, healing and what had happened across the lake.

                  Now was the moment!  With her head down she pushed forward through the lively crowd. Her heart was racing and her mind was fixed on one thing. ‘If only, if only I can touch Jesus’ clothes I will be healed!’ Closer, closer, now behind where Jesus was standing. Many people were now pressing in all around him. She lowered her arm and reached her hand past the bodies before her towards the edge ( hem) of  Jesus cloak. A final push and then.. Time seemed to stop. Immediately, the woman felt something!  Changed …now healing, relief, peace.
                     But then, Jesus turned suddenly and declared. “Who touched my clothes?”  His friends beside him called out “look around you Master. This crowd is huge! Everyone wants to be near you and to hear you”. Jesus stood still and kept looking from side to side. The woman now faced Jesus and she cautiously came forward. She looked up into Jesus eyes and then fell forward onto her knees shaking with fear. So many emotions flooded her thoughts. Would people recognise her?  She had crossed many boundaries just to be there that day. Is this real? Then she spoke with a faltering voice. “Teacher, it was me! I touched you.
           Jesus looked straight at her and then clearly said to everyone. “Daughter, your faith has healed you! Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.!”

Healing, relief, and now acceptance…
           And this wasn’t the end of the healing miracles that day.
 We don’t know the name of this lady healed in the crowd or what happened to her next but no doubt her life was changed that moment. The woman showed great faith in trusting Jesus to heal her. What do you need to reach out in prayer to Jesus today? Healing, forgiveness, peace, acceptance?

Keep the faith, no need to fear,
Jesus' love is always near.
Reach for him, He'll show the way,
Guiding every single day.
Keep the faith, no need to fear,

Jesus' love is always near!

(Chant with action at the end of each line or
sing to the tune of “Twinkle, twinkle Little Star”)



Keep the faith, no need to fear,
Jesus' love is always near.
Reach for him, He'll show the way,
Guiding every single day.
Keep the faith, no need to fear,
Jesus' love is always near.
Reach for him, He'll show the way,
Guiding every single day.

A HEART FOR THE LOST

3/3/2025

0 Comments

 
The following poem/song/chant followed a children's talk in a church service. The congregation joined the refrain in bold. It was accompanied by actions for WALK, PRAY, and LISTEN.
The Bible readings for the Service were :2 Timothy 1:1-6, Matthew 9:35-37

A Heart for the Lost
(Verse 1)
Jesus saw people, lost, lonely and weak,
He didn’t just talk, He went out to seek.
He showed them love, no matter the cost,
So He walked and prayed and listened,
Walked and prayed and listened.

(Verse 2)
Timothy learned from his mum and his grandma too,
Both strong in the faith, passed it on and it grew.
They cared and shared and soon it spread
So he walked and prayed and listened,
Timothy walked and prayed and listened.

(Verse 3)
Paul told Timothy, “Don’t be afraid,
We’ve Good News to share. It must be relayed.
They worked to impart, their purpose was clear,
So they walked and prayed and listened,
They walked and prayed and listened.

(Verse 4)
Jesus said, 'The harvest is ripe, but the workers are few',
We’re all called to serve and share what is true.
Outreach for the lost, that’s the heart of our Mission
  Now walk and pray and listen.
Come, walk, pray and listen.

Divide people into 4 groups. Each group has a practice with their chant and then the leader conducts bringing each group in, gradually getting louder until leader raises hands and all groups shout together- "GOD WITH US! JESUS!"
Christmas Shout
Use the same approach as the Chant above in 3 or 4 groups
1. God's Son was born on Christmas Day.
2. Peace on Earth. Peace on earth. Peace on earth.
3. Baby born at Bethlehem. Baby born at Bethlehem.
4. Rejoice ! Rejoice ! Rejoice ! Rejoice !
Together... It's Christmas !!!

Bible Verses set to Simple Songs

2/20/2020

0 Comments

 
Here's a few Bible verses for young children I set to well known tunes. I came up with these as part of  a Forty Days Of Purpose children's program.

Mark 12:30     ( Tune: Row, row, row your boat)
Love, love, love the Lord,
Love the Lord your God-
With all your heart
With all your soul
​With all your mind and strength.


Ephesians 2:10    ( Tune: If you're happy and you know it)
We are God's workmanship
Created in Jesus Christ
to do good works
which God has prepared
in advance for us to do.


Romans 12.5  ( There's a hole in the bucket)
So, in Christ we who are many -
form one body and each member
 in Christ everybody
 belongs to the rest.

FEEDING 5000

FEEDING 5000 (John chapter 6)
(Invite children to join in the counting parts of the rhyme)
​

1, 2 ... two small fish. (Not much of a dish) 
PLUS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... five loaves of bread.
"That's all I have!" The small boy said.
No shops to stop. No place to buy,
Then Jesus prayed, please multiply
Till every mouth had fish and bread.
Amazed that all the crowd was fed.
1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000...
People, sat on a hill
And saw Jesus add up a miracle.

Easter is…
Easter is a time of joy
For everyone, girls and boys.
Rejoice, be glad, let’s all sing,
Jesus is our risen King!
Jesus is living!
Yes he is living!
Jesus is living!
The Bible tells me so.
( You can also sing this to “Jesus Loves Me”)
