2. Bishop Justus Church of England School
Morning Worship
Trinity
26th June 2017
Bishop Justus Church of England School

3. 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

4. Receive
Jesus said … “Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be astonished that I said to you, ‘You must be born from above.’ The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
From the Gospel according to John, chapter 3, verses 5 to 9

5. Engage
The nature of God is far beyond human understanding. From early Christian times people have looked at the words of Christ and his followers (especially St Paul) and seen the God is revealed (shown) in the world in three ways; as creator (or “Father”), in human reality (or “Son”) and as a constant presence (the “Holy Spirit”).
There is one God, revealed in three ways - “Father, Son and Holy Spirit” – known as the Holy Trinity.
In many churches 11th June was Trinity Sunday when Christians gave thanks to God for the way God is with us.

6. Engage Video suggestion … Christianity basically – The Trinity
A discussion idea …
Discuss the things that are mysterious to you - the universe, relationships, life, religious ideas etc. What life questions would you love to know the answer to?
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 … Christians have used the ‘Triquetra’ symbol to show three distinct parts yet of one body. Can you come up with any other designs or images that do the same?

7. Respond Amen Holy God, faithful and unchanging:
[Reflect for a minute on the worship theme and our engagement …]
Holy God,
faithful and unchanging:
enlarge our minds with the knowledge of your truth,
and draw us more deeply into the mystery of your love,
that we may truly worship you,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
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 …

8. 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
