Rejoice! (you brood of vipers)

This Sunday at St. David's is IG Sunday (IG = Intergenerational). One Sunday a month the kids give us a chance to see other ways of doing church.

What a great couple of texts from Zephaniah and Philippians we'll work with. A kind of Antiphonal Song between God and God's people. In Zephaniah we hear about this outrageous song--God rejoicing over us with singing. If we could film this and post it to Youtube it would surely go viral.

In Philippians we are the ones encouraged to rejoice, to rejoice in God. The ability to rejoice all the time is apparently made more likely by a practice of not worry at any time.

And surely there's some way of working in 'You brood of vipers!' Rejoice, you brood of vipers. Be quiet, you BOVs, so you can hear God singing joyfully to you! Don't worry, you BOVs, and peace will enfold you!

I think the kids will have fun with this. How about you?
