SPRING TERM WORSHIP 2016
Our 2016 spring term worship theme is: Living Well - Developing a Christ-like Character.
We hope these themes for collective worship will help children and adults in school to reflect on this Christian narrative: what it is to live life well and to the full, inspired by the example of Jesus and his followers.

· The metaphor of “warm fires and open doors” comes from a speech made by David Thomson. Bishop of Huntingdon, to Church school leaders. As he said in that speech: By Warm Fires I mean a vibrant and attractive sense of our Christian identity, and by Open Doors I mean a real welcome to anyone and everyone to gather round the fire. David Thomson, Bishop of Huntingdon. |

· After the death and resurrection of Christ, Paul’s letters to the early Christian communities also provide us with a vision of what it might be like to be a community responding to Christ. Across the letters, there is a strong sense of the Holy Spirit actively at work in the lives of individuals and communities. · The Christian narrative invites us to take seriously the possibility, even the reality, that God is alive and at work in the world, that the Holy Spirit works in and through us. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Galatians 5:25
