In our Gospel assembly this week, the children explored and celebrated ‘Vocation: Abundant Love.’

We explored how we are now in the season of Eastertide - a 50 day long celebration of rejoicing from Easter Sunday to Pentecost - when Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to His disciples. During this season we say and sing “Christ is Risen!” and “Alleluia!” to celebrate that Jesus is risen! Because Jesus is alive, we can rejoice during these 50 days and celebrate Jesus, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

The children listened to this week’s Gospel –

‘I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.’

John 10:10

Our word of the week is ‘Vocation.’ The children explored what this means.

The children’s wonder question this week is: ‘I wonder how Jesus can help us to live abundant lives - to ‘live life to the full’?

Our Mission for this week is – ‘How can we rejoice this Eastertide by receiving God’s abundant love and loving others through our words and actions.

We finished our assembly by sharing and receiving God’s blessings as we prayed the Act of Love together…

O my God,

I love you above all things, with my whole heart and soul,

because you are all good and worthy of all my love.

I love my neighbour as myself for the love of you.

I forgive all who have injured me

and I ask pardon of all whom I have injured.

Amen.

In our Gospel assembly this week, the children explored and celebrated ‘New Eyes.’

We explored how on Easter Sunday we remember Jesus’ Resurrection. Jesus conquered death and was raised to new life, so that we can be close friends with Him. Eastertide is a 50 day long celebration of rejoicing from Easter Sunday to Pentecost - when Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to His disciples.

During this season we say and sing “Christ is Risen!” and “Alleluia!” to celebrate that Jesus is risen! Because Jesus is alive, we can rejoice during these 50 days and celebrate Jesus, who is (click to reveal) the Way, the Truth and the Life.

The children listened to this week’s Gospel –

‘Then, starting with Moses and going through all the prophets, He explained to them the passages throughout the Scriptures that were about Himself.’

Luke 24:27

Our word of the week is ‘Faith.’ The children explored what this means.

The children’s wonder question this week is: ‘I wonder how the disciples knew that the ‘stranger’ was Jesus?

Our Mission for this week is – ‘How they we follow Jesus, the Way, the Truth and the Life, in faith through our words and actions this week.

We finished our assembly by sharing and receiving God’s blessings as we prayed together…

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,

the love of God,

and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit

be with you all.

Amen

In our Gospel assembly this week, the children explored and celebrated ‘Believe and Receive.’

We explored how different celebrations have different amounts of time spent on them. We discussed how Eastertide is a 50 day long celebration of Jesus rising from the dead.

The children listened to this week’s Gospel –

‘Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”’

John 20:29

The children’s wonder question this week is: ‘I wonder why did seeing the Risen Jesus help Thomas to believe?

The children watched a video where Thomas, who at first was unsure, came to rejoice in faith when he met the Risen Jesus and believed in Him.

Our Mission for this week is – ‘How can we rejoice this Eastertide by sharing the blessings of faith and peace with others through their words and actions?’

We finished our assembly by sharing and receiving God’s blessings as we prayed together…

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,

and the love of God,

and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit

be with you all.

Amen
