Child-Led Collective Worship

Nursery were so thrilled when Class 3 came to visit us to lead Collective Worship. This was a special time for both classes to come together to hear the word of God, reflect and think about how we can live in His way.

To begin, Class 3 talked to Nursery about the special objects they had brought with them to put on the prayer mat.

Gather
We sat in a circle and had some quiet time to think and focus on our breathing. As we breathed in, we breathed in God’s peace. As we breathed out, we breathed out any worries to help us to be still inside and out. 

Word
Today’s reading was taken from the book of Acts. We listened to the moment the Holy Spirit visited the Disciples, at Pentecost. We learned about the gift of the Holy Spirit, as the disciples were suddenly able to speak in tongues and go forth around the world to spread the word of God. This special time is called Pentecost, and is a truly awe inspiring moment, where we can think about the power of the Holy Spirit, sent down from God to make changes to our lives and inspire us to follow in God’s footsteps. 

Response
We then had some quiet time to close our eyes and reflect on the Word we had heard, praying quietly in our hearts asking God to help us to choose the right ways to make others happy. 

Mission
To take this message away with us we will try and think about the ways we can be more like Jesus, spreading the word of God through prayer and discussion with our families. Nursery will learn more about Pentecost later in the year, so we are lucky to have had this experience, they will be very excited to revisit this lesson. 

To end our worship together, we said the school prayer to thank God for ourselves, our friends and family. 

Thank you Class 3 for leading this special Collective Worship in our classroom today, Nursery had a great time to reflect and learn more about the mystery of God.
