St Andrew Assembly/Collective Worship for 30th November. The assembly begins with identifying flags and patron saints for England, Scotland and Wales. Where is Scotland? Famous themes from Scotland. Things we know about Andrew from the Gospel: We first hear of Andrew when he was called by Jesus when he was busy fishing.He was there when Jesus fed the 5000 with 5 loaves and two fishes. Andrew was the disciple who spoke to the boy who had the 5 loaves and two fishes. He told the story of Jesus a long way from his home. He went to Poland, Russia and Greece to tell the story of Jesus! Andrew died in Greece on an X shaped cross. Many years after his death his bones were very precious to Christians who prayed to Andrew in heaven. The bones were brought to Scotland on a very rough sea. The place where they landed is known as St Andrew. Watch clip. Mission for the children: Andrew believed that Jesus was good news for other people, so he shared that news. Ask the children to consider whether the things that they say to others cause joy and happiness. Too often, we can say unkind things or use our words to make people sad. Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could all make people happy with the things that we say? Ask the children whether they have any good news today. You may wish to ask a few children to share their good news with other people.
