1. I try to love others as I love myself
STATEMENTS TO LIVE BY – Spring 1
Over the next few weeks we will be working together to....
‘Experience a sense of belonging within a range of communities, including the local Parish Community, and play an active role as members of society
This week we will take the opportunity to discuss and support each other as we learn about this statement:
I try to love others as I love myself
I try to follow our school and classroom rules
I know I belong in a community that includes my school
I know we are happiest when we are united
What are the rules and expectations
of your family at home?

2. Collective Worship Time

3. We gather together:

4. On the Feast of the Epiphany we journey like the wise men to seek Jesus.

5. Dear Jesus, You are our true gift on this Epiphany
Dear Jesus, You are our true gift on this Epiphany. Thank you for being our shining star and leading us to a way of holiness and humility. May your angels and your love surround us. May the star of Bethlehem always shine, leading us to you. Amen.

6. We listen: Listen carefully to the Gospel of the Lord.
1 After Jesus had been born at Bethlehem in Judaea during the reign of King Herod, suddenly some wise men came to Jerusalem from the east
2 asking, 'Where is the infant king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose and have come to do him homage.‘
Matthew 2:1-2
The Gospel of the Lord
Praise to you Lord, Jesus Christ
Appropriate Scripture Phrase:
“When they saw the star they were delighted”
(based on Matthew 2:16-18)

7. We listen: Listen carefully to the Gospel of the Lord.
10 The sight of the star filled them with delight,
11 and going into the house they saw the child with his mother Mary, and falling to their knees they did him homage. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.
12 But they were given a warning in a dream not to go back to Herod, and returned to their own country by a different way.
Matthew 2:10-12
The Gospel of the Lord
Praise to you Lord, Jesus Christ

8. We respond: How do you know God is love?
Who has been like a bright star leading me to Jesus?
We rejoice that Jesus is shown to all those who truly seek him.
How can we be bright stars in 2018?

9. We go forth: God our father, I come to say,
Thank you for your love today.
Thank you for my family
And all the friends you give to me.
Guard me in the dark of night
And in the morning send your light.
St. Wilfrid, Patron of our School, pray for us
