Bishop Justus Church of England School Morning Worship Joy in singing 17th January 2017 Bishop Justus Church of England School  

Let the light of Christ shine in our lives Gather The Lord be with you And also with you Let the light of Christ shine in our lives

Receive Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with loud songs of joy. From Psalm 47, verse 1

Engage Continuing the theme of Joy, many people experience joy through making music, singing and by listening to music. This has been true for humanity for all time. Simple musical instruments have been discovered that are many thousands of years old. The writer of the Psalms recorded that the people worshipped God by singing songs of joy.

Engage Some discussion ideas … What’s your favourite song? Why do people enjoy singing? Where do people sing? List all the places you know. Activity suggestion … Write and perform your own classroom song. Have fun with it, make it something about joy. Video suggestion … The Choir – “Stand by me / beautiful girls” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQxHxloG854

Respond Amen God, we thank you for the gifts of music and singing. May we continue to share the joy of singing in our communities. Amen

Go out into the world with the light of Christ Let us bless the Lord Thanks be to God Go out into the world with the light of Christ
