Bishop Justus Church of England School Morning Worship Bishop Justus School Virtues 26th September 2018 Bishop Justus Church of England School  

Gather The Lord be with you And also with you

The Bishop Justus Virtues Faith Hope Love Wisdom Courage Kindness

Receive (today’s Bible reading) Coming to his hometown, he [Jesus] began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked. Matthew, Chapter 13, verse 54 New International Version (NIV)

Your thoughts please As you explore the virtue of wisdom during worship this week, we would like to have your ‘words of wisdom’ to use in a special worship the school is leading at a head teachers conference in October. What words of wisdom would you give our world leaders (these must be sensible and with the aim of making God’s world an even better place)? Please can tutors email Mr Kings with your tutee’s most imaginative or impressive words of wisdom and they may well be used at the conference. Thank you.

Explore Here are some more ideas for discussions to help you understand the importance of wisdom to our community. You might want to make a display or poster on your tutor group notice board. Do you agree that wisdom is more than just “knowing stuff” ? Does technology take away the need for human wisdom? Is enough wisdom shown in the world today and do we need more (if so, how can this be achieved)? To what extent do leaders need to be wise? As the Bishop Justus community, how can we show the Christian virtue of wisdom? (your tutor could pass ideas to your learning director or the Chaplain)

Respond (this week’s prayer) Heavenly Father, Be with us Lord, as on our journey through life, we learn, gain knowledge and experience, think and search for the truth. May we never stop striving for wisdom in all that we do you, to your glory Lord. Amen

Go   Let us bless the Lord Thanks be to God
