PP Assembly: New Year: New You

I searched the TES site today and found no assembly for the New Year so here goes!
It is aimed at Secondary school children but could easily be adapted!

1. WHAT ARE OUR GOALS?
2. WILL WE ACHIEVE THEM?
3. WILL WE BE A BETTER PERSON IN 2018/9 IF WE ACHIEVE THEM?

It includes:

1. Music: You could use ABBA- Happy New Year but that would depend on whether you’ve already see Mamma Mia 20 times!
2. Video: The mini bios are on You Tube. The specific links are included incl Bill Gates bio.
3. Bible reading
4. Prayer- by Billy Graham
5. Final thought
6. Call to action
7. Research for talk- below and current research on people’s top goals today -on slides

**For the Intro here is some background on where the name of the month January comes from:

**In ancient Roman religion and myth, Janus (/ˈdʒeɪnəs/; Latin: Ianus, pronounced [ˈjaː.nus]) is the god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, doorways, passages, and endings. He is usually depicted as having two faces, since he looks to the future and to the past. It is conventionally thought that the month of January is named for Janus (Ianuarius),[ but according to ancient Roman farmers’ almanacs Juno was the tutelary deity of the month
Janus presided over the beginning and ending of conflict, and hence war and peace. The doors of his temple were open in time of war, and closed to mark the peace. As a god of transitions, he had functions pertaining to birth and to journeys and exchange, and in his association with Portunus, a similar harbor and gateway god, he was concerned with travelling, trading and shipping **

Any way whatever you do, I hope 2018/9 is a good year for you!
Any problems please email me. Some nice feedback if time permits!
