Chapter 8: What are free for?

Gather

Today is an opportunity to make form time feel different and distinct. You could choose to dim the lights to make the space feel different. You are welcome to use this instrumental music to set the reflective tone.

We begin our time together as we invite you to make the Sign of the Cross

R./ In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

The opening prayer can be led by anyone, yourself or a volunteer, you could even crate a rota for each week so everyone gets a turn.

Let us pray,
O God, our God,
You freed your people, so that they may find their identity as Your People.
Help us find our identity today, by listening to Your Word.
Amen.

The Word

Every time we come together we’ll explore a different part of God’s story, starting at the beginning and journeying through the year. Again, there is an opportunity for anyone who feels comfortable to read the scripture out loud.

You could then have a period of silence to think about what you’ve heard or discuss what you’ve read as a class.

Response

Each week we’ll respond to the scripture in different ways, so play the video below and follow along to explore this chapter of our story.

Closing Prayer

We’ve heard how we can live out our faith today in the video, think about what this might mean for you as we share the closing prayer – again anyone can lead this with the class.

Let us pray,
O God, our God,
You teach us that Your are our God, and we are Your children.
Help us to live this week as Your Children.
Amen.

We end our time together as we invite you to make the Sign of the Cross

R./ In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

If you are in need of some quiet time today, the Prayer Room (Beechdale Site, RE Corriodr) is always available at break and lunch times for a prayerful environment to spend some time away from the business of school life.
