1 Corinthians 12:1–28 

Leader: 6 God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us. 

ALL: 7 A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. 

Leader: 12 The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ.  

ALL: 21 The eye can never say to the hand, “I don’t need you.” The head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you.” 

Leader: 25 This makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members care for each other. 

  26 If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad. 

ALL: 27 All of us together are Christ’s body. Each of us are a part of Christ’s Church!

Psalm 126

French Leader: 1 Quand l’Éternel ramena les captifs de Sion,
  Nous étions comme ceux qui font un rêve.

English Leader: 1 When the Lord brought back his exiles to Jerusalem, 
  it was like a dream! 

ALL: 2 We were filled with laughter, 
  and we sang for joy. 

French Leader:  2 Alors on disait parmi les nations:
  L’Éternel a fait pour eux de grandes choses!

English Leader:  2 And the other nations said, 
  “What amazing things the Lord has done for them.” 

ALL: 3 Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us! What joy! 
  4 Restore our fortunes, Lord, as streams renew the desert. 

French Leader: 5 Ceux qui sèment avec larmes 
  Moissonneront avec chants d’allégresse.

English Leader: 5 Those who plant in tears 
  will harvest with shouts of joy. 

ALL: 6 They weep as they go to plant their seed, 
  but they sing as they return with the harvest.

Psalm 121

Leader: We lift up our eyes to the hills. From where does our help come?

ALL: Our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Leader: He will not let our foot be moved; he who keeps us will not slumber.

ALL: Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

Leader: The LORD is our keeper; the LORD is our shade on our right hand.

ALL: The sun shall not strike us by day, nor the moon by night.

Leader: The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep our lives.

Psalm 67

Leader: 1 May God be merciful and bless us. 
  May his face smile with favor on us. 

ALL: 2 May your ways be known throughout the earth, 
  your saving power among people everywhere. 

  3 May the nations praise you, O God. 
  Yes, may all the nations praise you. 

Leader: 4 Let the whole world sing for joy, 
  because you govern the nations with justice 
  and guide the people of the whole world. 

ALL: 5 May the nations praise you, O God. 
  Yes, may all the nations praise you. 

Leader: 6 Then the earth will yield its harvests, 
  and God, our God, will richly bless us. 

ALL: 7 Yes, God will bless us, 
  and people all over the world will fear him.
