Morning Worship
St Swithun
17th July 2017
Bishop Justus Church of England School

8. 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

9. Receive
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
From the book of Proverbs, chapter 3, verses 5 to 7

10. Engage
Swithun was Bishop of Winchester in the ninth century. He was bishop for ten years and appears to have been the trusted adviser of Egbert, his king in Wessex.
Swithun had asked to be buried 'humbly' and not in a great shrine and, when he died on 2 July 862, his request was fulfilled.
However, when a new cathedral was being built, Ethelwold, the new bishop, decided to move Swithun's remains into a shrine in the cathedral, despite dire warnings that to move the bones would bring about terrible storms.
When Swithun’s bones were moved, on 15 July 971, it is said that it rained for forty days.

11. Engage
Video suggestion … St Swithun’s Day and other weather sayings
Some discussion ideas …
Do you know any ‘wise sayings’, maybe from your family or community? What are they?
What ‘wise saying’ would you create?
St Swithun was known as being a humble person – why is humility seen as something good to have?
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.

12. Respond Amen Almighty God, by whose grace we celebrate
[Reflect for a minute on the worship theme and our engagement …]
Almighty God,
by whose grace we celebrate
the feast of your servant Swithun:
grant that, as he governed with gentleness
the people committed to his care,
so we, rejoicing in the Christian inheritance,
may always seek to build up your people in unity and love.
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 …

13. 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
