31st January 2017
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 every province and in every city, wherever the king’s command and his edict came, there was gladness and joy among the Jews, a festival and a holiday.
From the book of Esther, chapter 8, verse 17

5. Engage
The book of Esther is in the Old Testament and it relates the story of a Hebrew girl in Persia, born as Hadassah but known as Esther, who becomes queen of Persia and thwarts a genocide of her people. The story forms the core of the Jewish festival of Purim, during which it is read aloud twice: once in the evening and again the following morning.

6. Engage Some discussion ideas …
The Jewish people were glad when the King’s rule and laws were re-established – why do you think they were so joyful by this?
What do you think are the most important laws that we have, and why?
Activity suggestion … Propose, debate, agree and display a new law for you classroom.
Video suggestion … How laws are made in the UK -

7. Respond Amen God, we thank you for our communities -
places where we can be safe.
Help us to observe our laws
and to change those laws that may be unfair.
Give us wisdom.
Amen

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
