Collective Worship
Collective worship – Roots and Fruits
We use Roots and Fruits for our collective worship.
Roots and Fruits provides creative collective worship for primary schools based in Christian values themes over a period of two years. Rooted in Bible teaching, twelve Christian values represent the fruit that grows as the teaching is lived out in everyday life.
The value for the Spring Term 1 is Courage
and Spring Term 2 is Forgiveness
Courage is…
Carrying on when things are difficult
Overcoming fear
Understanding and facing a challenge
Risking being our of your comfort zone
Always believing in God’s promises
Going for a goal
Empowered by encouragement
A prayer for courage
Father God,
Help us to be strong and courageous.
Help us to speak out for others.
Help us to stand up and be counted.
Help us to do the right thing, not just the easy thing.
Amen
Forgiveness is…
Forgetting the hurts
Offering a new beginning
Restoring a friendship
Given and received
Identifying responsibility
Valuing the truth
Ending an argument
Not holding a grudge
Encouraging honesty
Saying sorry
Starting again
A forgiveness prayer
Lord Jesus
Help us to be ready to show forgiveness to others,
As you are ready to show forgiveness to us.
Amen
