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

4. Receive
Jesus stood up to read in the synagogue, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written:
‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.’
From the Gospel according to Luke, chapter 4, verses 16 to 17

5. Engage
It's World Book Day on Thursday 1st March a great opportunity to celebrate books and reading. There's lots happening here in the UK, with events taking place at schools, libraries and other public places across the country.

6. Engage Video suggestion … World Book Day rap
Some discussion ideas …
Why are books important?
Can books change the way we think? How?
We have computers, do we need books anymore? Why?
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 … … Discuss in pairs about your favourite books. Do a poll in your class, find out the most favourite book.

7. Respond Amen Thank you God for the gift of books.
[Reflect for a minute on the worship theme and our engagement …]
Thank you God
for the gift of books.
For the skill of writers and illustrators
and the work done by publishers
to share thoughts and ideas
around the world.
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
