Prayer Liturgies

Liturgy Structure

Gather:

We begin or enter – this could be to music, singing together, saying a prayer or just a quiet moment. We aim to create an atmosphere of prayer.

Listen:

This is a reading from scripture or sometimes another focus based on scripture. We pause at times for quiet contemplation.

Respond:

This is what we do in response to the scripture.  It may be quiet reflection, a formal or informal prayer or responding to bidding prayers. We may also do something such as placing a pebble or other marker on the collective worship display or share our thoughts.

Go Forth:

We help those present to take the message away with them – prayer card, picture, common prayer, action etc.

Year 2 Prayer Assembly

Year 2 led the whole school in a Prayer Liturgy all about their class saint 'Saint Lucy' They were able to articulate why they chose her as their saint and how she dedicated her life to follow God.

Year 5 Prayer Assembly

Year 5 led a beautiful Prayer Liturgy all about their RE learning on Creation. The children discussed the story of creation as a way of explaining that God is creator and reflected  on their God given talents and living their lives in response to the teaching of Christ.
