Morning Worship
Father’s Day
15th June 2018
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
In the wilderness, where you saw how the Lord your God carried you, just as one carries a child, all the way that you travelled until you reached this place.
From the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 1, verse 31

5. Engage
Father's Day is a celebration honouring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society. Many countries celebrate it on the third Sunday of June, though it is also celebrated widely on other days by many other countries.

6. Engage Video suggestion … The evolution of Dad dancing -
Some discussion ideas …
Share some good ideas to celebrate the men who are important to you (whether that be Dad, friend, Grandad etc).
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 a ‘thank you’ message and give it to your Father / Uncle / Grandad / Carer

7. Respond Amen God, we thank you for men who help and inspire us -
[Reflect for a minute on the worship theme and our engagement …]
God,
we thank you for men who help and inspire us -
for fathers, uncles, grandfathers, guardians and carers.
Bless their work and encourage them in their lives.
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
