Wisdom Collective Worship (Focus on 'Dealing with Hazards')
This fun and original collective worship aids children in understanding the value of wisdom. Specifically, it focuses on having the wisdom to perceive and deal with hazards. It was delivered as a part of a series of three worship sessions on wisdom (available as a bundle), but works equally well as a standalone worship session. This is achieved through:
-Recalling the definition of wisdom and thinking about how we can show the characteristics of being wise;
-Thinking about what the word ‘hazard’ means and discussing what we know about hazards;
-Watching a video of a reading of Psalms 23 (hyperlinked) and discussing the literal and figurative meanings of the Lord being our ‘shepherd’ and helping us to stay safe in the face of dangers;
-Relating these teachings to the modern world - discussing how we can overcome the hazards that we face in our own lives (through the ideas of preventing, avoiding and overcoming);
-Singing a hymn relating to the Lord guiding us through life, before reflecting through prayer.
The session includes a comprehensive, engaging PowerPoint presentation and a hyperlink to the necessary video and hymn. There are also various discussion prompts to enable children to consider how wisdom and seeking support can aid us throughout our lives.
The slides are fairly self-explanatory, but I’ve included guiding notes to assist the speaker. Hope that you find this useful!
