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 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. From the First letter of John, chapter 4, verse 20

Engage The bombing of three Tube trains and a bus - carried out by four bombers linked to al-Qaeda carrying rucksacks of explosives - was the worst single terrorist atrocity on British soil. At just after 08:50 on 7 July 2005, three explosions took place on the Underground - 26 people died at Russell Square, six at Edgware Road and seven at Aldgate. Almost an hour later, a fourth device was set off on a double-decker bus in Tavistock Square, killing 13 people. Recently we have experienced some more traumatic events; at Westminster Bridge, in Manchester, near London Bridge, in Finsbury Park and the fire that destroyed Grenfell Tower.

Engage Video suggestion … Emma Craig (2005 survivor) remembers - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QDNX65929k Some discussion ideas … Why is it important that faith communities express their togetherness after a terrible event? Why do you think that some people commit terrorist acts? 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.

Respond Amen God, there is much hatred in our world. [Reflect for a minute on the worship theme and our engagement …] God, there is much hatred in our world. Help us to overcome hatred with love, care and compassion. May we be guided by the teaching and example of Jesus Christ. Amen 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). To pray or reflect on today’s worship. Be quiet for one minute. Then say the prayer …

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
