Morning Worship
What’s your calling?
15th September 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
We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith; ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching; the exhorter, in exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness.
From Paul’s letter to the Romans, chapter 12, verses 7 to 8

5. Engage
‘Ember Days’ may be observed by the church as general days of prayer for those who serve the Church in its various ministries, both ordained and lay, and for vocations.
Many people will feel that they have been ‘called’ to serve people, whether it might be as a nurse, a teacher, an electrician, a social worker, a priest, a builder…
People can discover, at any time of life, how their skills and talents can best be used and what will give them the most satisfaction in their work.

6. Engage Video suggestion … Hugh Jackman’s teacher interview
Some discussion ideas …
How do you find out what job is right for you?
How has your ideas changed over the last few years about what you might do in the future?
How do you find out what skills and abilities you have?
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 … Talk through your ideas about what jobs might be right for you with another student who you know, see if they agree!

7. Respond Amen Almighty and everlasting God,
[Reflect for a minute on the worship theme and our engagement …]
Almighty and everlasting God,
by whose Spirit the whole body of the Church
is governed and sanctified:
hear our prayer which we offer for all your faithful people,
that in their vocation and ministry
they may serve you in holiness and truth
to the glory of your name;
through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen
Church of England prayer on Ember Days
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
