Mary, Mother of Jesus - Collective Worship Session!

This fun and original collective worship session aims to guide children towards building their knowledge of Mary, mother of Jesus, through:

-Gathering what they already know about Mary;
-Learning about the annunciation of Mary, through reading an engaging and thought-provoking script;
-Answering comprehension questions based on the ideas and events of the annunciation;
-Considering Mary’s response and actions after learning that she would be the mother of Jesus;
-Studying examples of Mary’s devotion and love towards Jesus, through engagement with religious artworks and Bible quotations;
-Discussing the Christian values that Mary demonstrated throughout her life;
-Singing a hymn about the Mother Mary (hyperlinked);
-Closing with a prayer related to the Mother Mary.

The session includes a 16-slide presentation, the script for the ‘anunciation’ section (in both Word and PDF) and the hyperlink to the hymn. No further resources are required, everything that you need to present the assembly is included.

This assembly was originally delivered to all of the children in a primary school (KS1 and KS2), although with suitable adaptations it could also be suitable for students in KS3.
