2. Bishop Justus Church of England School
Morning Worship
Care and courtesy as we travel
5th March 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
Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarrelling, to be gentle, and to show every courtesy to everyone.
From Paul’s letter to Titus, chapter 3, verses 1 & 2

5. Engage
When the apostle Paul wrote to the early Christians he often encouraged them to live good lives, following the example and commands of Jesus Christ.
He saw that by living without jealousy, greed, conceit or quarrelling, people not only made healthy communities but also brought peace to their own lives.
As we travel we need to be aware of others needs and not be self-centred or rude.

6. Engage Video suggestion … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0M1nzkf9SU
Some discussion ideas …
What are some ways that people can be inconsiderate whilst on the bus/train? If we see someone doing this what should we do?
What can we do whilst travelling to and from school to show more care and courtesy to others who are travelling?
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 … Make a list of things you can do as a tutor group to show care and courtesy to all people you encounter on your journey to school.

7. Respond
[Reflect for a minute on the worship theme and our engagement …]
Dear God,
Help us to see the needs of other people and to care for them and be courteous when we are travelling. Help us to live our lives in peace with each other and to love and respect the world around us.
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
