Bishop Justus Church of England School Morning Worship Inter Faith Week of Prayer for World Peace 16th October 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 Jesus said to his disciples … Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. From the Gospel according to John, chapter 14, verse 27
Engage “Although it was a Christian initiative that led to the founding of the Week of Prayer for World Peace in 1974, it soon became an inter faith activity, and now welcomes everyone, of all faith traditions or none, to take part. Our first Chairman, the late Dr Edward Carpenter, former Dean of Westminster, established the guiding principle of the Week in the words “The peace of the world must be prayed for by the faiths of the world”, and this is still the basis of our work today.” Extract from the Week of Prayer for World Peace website.
Engage Video suggestion … What is Peace? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwJUhVrOiU0 Some discussion ideas … How do you think bringing people together from different faiths and praying for peace can help the world? Do you know anyone of other faiths – have you prayed together? How would you bring Peace to our world? Discussion techniques - Go back to the Bible passage ask “How does the theme link with the Bible passage?” Discuss the question in pairs for 30 seconds then invite a response from each pair. Use quick-fire answers e.g. throw a soft bean bag / toy to a student, when they answer they throw it back and you quickly throw to another student. Simplify the question - Invite quick one-word answers, write them on the board, then reflect on the answers – see connections. Activity suggestion … Write prayers of peace. Think of places where there is fighting. Ask for God’s help to find ways to bring peace. (Take them to the Chapel and some will be put up on our prayer wall).

Amen Prayer for the Week of Prayer for World Peace Prayer / reflection technique – Give a summary of the theme and any responses that students may have made, then invite everyone to be still (remind no books open etc – lessen distraction).
