Gather
The Lord be with you
And also with you
Let the light of Christ shine in our lives

4. Receive
Praise the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. 
Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. 
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, 
Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, 
Praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals.
Psalm 150:1-5 

5. Engage
International Jazz Day serves as a celebration of jazz music and its contribution to education, peace, unity, dialogue and cooperation. Jazz is a form of music that was born in New Orleans in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Since then, it has spread around the world and evolved into many different types of jazz music.  International Jazz Day was designated by UNESCO in November of 2011 in an effort to highlight the role that jazz plays in uniting people from all over the world. It is celebrated annually on April 30th.

Some discussion ideas …
What is jazz?
Do you like jazz? Why or why not
How does the theme link with the bible passage?
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; Write and then discuss the importance of music in your life.

Respond
[Reflect for a minute on the worship theme and our engagement …]
.Oh Lord, please bless this music that it might glorify your name. May the talent that you have bestowed upon me be used only to serve you. Let this music be a witness to your majesty and love, and remind us that you are always watching, and listening, from your throne above. May your presence and beauty be found in every note, and may the words that are sung reach the hearts of your people so they will draw closer to you. May your Spirit guide us through every measure so that we might be the instruments of your peace, and proclaim your glory with glad voices. 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 …
