Gather
Today is an opportunity to make form time feel different and distinct. You could use this song, recorded by The choir and Mr Durnell to create an atmosphere in the room before the students come in or some other instrumental music if you would prefer.
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.
God of Covenant,
Open our hearts today to hear your Promises to us, and to your people.
Help us to understand your Word and your Will in our lives.
Through Christ our Lord.
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 (image on the left) 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.
Mission
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,
God of Covenant,
You promised a child who would be called Wonderful Counsellor,
Mighty God, Prince of Peace.
You promised a Spirit of wisdom, understanding, and joy.
Help us to keep the promises we make, that we may grow ever more like you.
Through Christ our Lord.
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.
