Morning Worship
United Nations Day
19th October 2017
Bishop Justus Church of England School

4. 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

5. Receive He shall judge between many peoples,
and shall arbitrate between strong nations far away;
they shall beat their swords into ploughshares,
and their spears into pruning-hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more.
From the Book of Micah, chapter 4, verse 3

6. Engage
In October 1945, with the signing of the founding document, the United Nations officially came into being.
Due to the powers vested in its Charter and its unique international character, the United Nations can take action on the issues confronting humanity in the 21st century, such as peace and security, climate change, sustainable development, human rights, disarmament, terrorism, humanitarian and health emergencies, gender equality, governance, food production, and more.

7. Engage Video suggestion … History of the United Nations
Some discussion ideas …
Why do you think it might be difficult to get all the member countries to agree on how to tackle a problem – such as the war in Syria?
The United Nations can do many things – but what do you think limits what it can do?
Should we have just one worldwide nation?
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 … draw a rough map of the world and write a prayer next to a country or continent.

8. Respond Amen We thank God for the work of the United Nations.
[Reflect for a minute on the worship theme and our engagement …]
We thank God for the work of the United Nations.
May the member nations always be inspired
by the desire to cooperate
for the good of all people
in 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 …

9. 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
