Wisdom Collective Worship! (Focus on 'Seeking Help')
This fun and original collective worship aids children in understanding the value of wisdom. It was delivered as the first in a series of three worship sessions on wisdom (available as a Bundle) although it works equally as well as a standalone session. In this session, a particular focus is placed on defining wisdom and understanding that wisdom sometimes means seeking support from others, to help us to make wise choices. This is achieved through:
-Defining wisdom and thinking about how we can show the characteristics of being wise;
-Identifying times in which we might need to seek support;
-Reading and understanding a child-friendly reading of 1 Kings 3:3–15; 2 Chronicles 1:1–13 in which KIng Solomon asks God for wisdom;
-Analysing a bible quote from proverbs about the value of seeking advice;
-Relating these teachings to the lives of the children - considering how they can seek support both in their learning and at break/ lunchtimes (without relying too much on their teachers/ adults!);
-Singing a hymn relating to seeking support and reflecting through prayer.
The session includes a comprehensive, engaging PowerPoint presentation, a hyperlink to the necessary hymn, and both a PDF and Word copy of the script for the fable. 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!
