Bishop Justus Church of England School Morning Worship St Columba 8th June 2018 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 The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me; he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to the prisoners; to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to provide for those who mourn in Zion - to give them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit. They will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, to display his glory. From the book of the prophet Isaiah, chapter 61, verses 1 to 3

Engage Columba was born in Ireland. He became a monk and later left Ireland with twelve monks to set up a new monastery on Iona, a Scottish island. He converted kings and built churches, Iona becoming a starting point for the expansion of Christianity throughout Scotland. In the last four years of his life, when his health had failed, he spent the time transcribing books of the gospels for them to be taken out and used. He died on this day in the year 597.

Engage Some discussion ideas … Activity suggestion … The current Iona community campaigns for justice and peace – what are you prepared to campaign for? Activity suggestion … St Columba is remembered for his writing – take a phrase or Bible passage and copy it in decorative handwriting and pictures. Video suggestion … The life of Columcille (St Colomba https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl8q8fHriMw

Respond Amen Almighty God, who filled the heart of Columba with the joy of the Holy Spirit and with deep love for those in his care: may your pilgrim people follow him, strong in faith, sustained by hope, and one in the love that binds us to you; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen
