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
To all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God.
From the Gospel according to John, chapter 1, verse 12

5. Engage
Over and above the face is a Mitre, representing the fire of the Holy Spirit and points heavenward.
In the centre is the Cross which lies at the heart of Christian life.
To the left of the Cross a small part of the Pastoral Staff of a Bishop can be seen. A symbol of the care that we show.
The face looks to God’s future. The face may be Justus or all of us.
Further to the left is part of a scallop shell, a sign of pilgrimage. Our education is a journey of knowledge and understanding.

6. Engage Video suggestion … teachers can help you form your identity -
Some discussion ideas …
What do you wear or do that expresses something about your character?
Can you take away a person’s identity? How?
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 … design a logo that shows, in symbolic ways, something about you.

7. Respond Amen Thank you God For our school For our journey in education
[Reflect for a minute on the worship theme and our engagement …]
Thank you God
For our school
For our journey in education
For all that shapes our identity.
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 …
