Litany: Hebrews 1: 1-3

Here is an intergenerational litany based on Hebrews 1:1-3.  It was written by Carolyn Brown (based on Today’s English Version), and posted on her wonderful Worshiping with Children website.

Hebrews 1: 1-3

In the past, God spoke to our ancestors
many times and in many ways through the prophets,
Recall Moses, King David and other familiar prophets who were God’s leaders
but in these last days he has spoken to us through his Son.
Jesus is different from all these wonderful people in the past.
He is the one through whom God created the universe,
Jesus was present at the creation of the universe
the one whom God has chosen to possess all things at the end.
Jesus will be there at the end of the world.
He reflects the brightness of God’s glory
and is the exact likeness of God’s own being,
Jesus isn’t like God, Jesus IS God. 
Every story about Jesus is a story about God.
He sustains the universe with his powerful word.
Jesus is present right now holding things together.
After achieving forgiveness for human sins,
he sat down in heaven at the right-hand side of God, the Supreme Power.
Jesus died on the cross and rose again forgiving us and now is with God.
