Bishop Justus Church of England School Morning Worship St Thomas 4th July 2016 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 Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, ‘We have seen the Lord.’ But he said to them, ‘Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.’ A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you.’ Then he said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.’ Thomas answered him, ‘My Lord and my God!’ Jesus said to him, ‘Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.’ John 20:24-29

Engage Some discussion ideas … From the Bible account – how does Thomas respond to news about the risen Jesus? Have you had times when you were really uncertain about something? Who would you go to if you had an important question? Video suggestions … Scene from “Lost” with Jack Shepherd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOQxO5cihKQ Animated version of the story of Thomas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CYqnpngjVo

Respond Almighty and eternal God, who, for the firmer foundation of our faith, allowed your holy apostle Thomas       to doubt the resurrection of your Son till word and sight convinced him: grant to us, who have not seen, that we also may believe and so confess Christ as our Lord and our God; who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen (Church of England 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
