2. Bishop Justus Church of England School
Morning Worship
Kentigern (Mungo) – a missionary Bishop
12th January 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
Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest.’
From the Gospel according to Matthew, chapter 9, verses 35 to 38

5. Engage
Kentigern, also known affectionately as Mungo, which means 'darling', is reputed to have been the grandson of a British prince in southern Scotland and to have attended a monastic school at Culross. The story goes that he became a missionary to the Britons living in Strathclyde and was elected their bishop. Following the persecution of Christians, he fled to Wales, but eventually returned to Strathclyde where he continued his work of evangelism. He died in the year 603 and his tomb is in St Mungo's Cathedral in Glasgow.

6. Engage Video suggestion … The story of St Kentigern (Mungo)
Some discussion ideas …
Why do you think the message about Jesus Christ spread so quickly across the world – what is special about it?
Why do you think that some people dedicate their lives to sharing the news about Jesus?
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 … Design a flag for St Kentigern using the symbol of a salmon and a ring (from the legend).

7. Respond Amen Everlasting God,
[Reflect for a minute on the worship theme and our engagement …]
Everlasting God,
whose servant Kentigern carried the good news of your Son to the people of Scotland:
grant that we who commemorate his service
may know the hope of the gospel in our hearts
and live its light in all our ways.
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
