Collective Worship and Spirituality
What Spirituality means at Bisham
Spiritual Development for some is about the development of a relationship with God, while for others it is about the development of the human spirit, and for others, a continual quest after truth. For all, it is vital to spiritual development that children and adults alike are allowed space to develop their own faith, beliefs and values.
Collective Worship – Roots and Fruits
We use Roots and Fruits as the main focus 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 values for the Autumn term are Generosity and Compassion.
A prayer of Welcome
We light three candles to remind us of:
God the Father, the generous giver,
God the Son, who gave his life for the world and
God the Holy Spirit, who inspires us to give cheerfully.
Acrostic Poem
Generosity is…
Encouraging the best in each other
Never selfish
Enjoying helping others
Raising support for a good cause
Offering what we can
Sharing our time and talents
Inviting someone to join in
Taking care of God’s creation for future generations
You first, me last.
Welcome Words
This day may our lives reflect:
the compassion of God the Father,
the humility of God the Son, and
the gentleness of God the Holy Spirit.
Acrostic Poem
Compassion is…
Costly caring
Offering help
Making a difference
Putting others first
Always listening
Sensitive to suffering
Service in action
Interested in others
Offering care and concern
Noticing a need.
