Spirituality Week 2020

Theme: The God who speaks

 

Tuesday 19th May

The God who speaks at Prayer Stations

Prayer Stations are – literally – stations! They are places where people can stop and reflect. Usually, there is something to prompt reflection and, quite often, something for people to do. They are particularly useful for people who are very sensory – who find that God speaks to them through what they see, hear, touch , smell or taste.  They can be used as part of a focal point – at the back of church or in a school entrance or in people’s homes.

Read by Elysia, one of our Liturgy Leaders

 

For each station, click on the play button underneath each image to hear the House Captains leading you in prayer.

The God who speaks through Creation..

Today is the start of our annual Spirituality week and the theme for this year is “The God who speaks.”

To begin our special week we are going to think and remember each other and look forward to when we can all see each other again in school.

We pray for each other today and remind ourselves that God loves us all and we are his unique creation.

God speaking through creation or the natural world means that when we look up at the stars or gaze at the bluebells, we see the fingerprints of God. The more we fix our eyes on the wonder of creation, the more we must conclude that these things could not make themselves.

Read by Liam, one of our Liturgy Leaders

 

Class Teachers to lead:

Remember your class friends today

“God loves you very much and you are his unique creation. Listen as you hear the names of all your class read out”.

Poem read by Oliwia, one of our Liturgy Leaders

 

God who made the earth

By Sarah Bett Rhodes

 

God who made the earth,

The air, the sky, the sea

Who gave the light its birth,

Careth for me.

God who made the grass.

The flower, the fruit, the tree,

The day and night to pass.

Careth for me.

God who made the sun,

The moon, the star, is he

Who, when life’s clouds come on,

Careth for me.

 

 

Write a prayer entitled ‘God is Glorious’.  Here is an example to help you.

 

God is glorious in the falling of the green oak leaf.

God is Glorious in the rainbow in the evening sky.

God is glorious in the blackbird singing in the spring air.
