This is a Secondary school assembly that covers the following:
**1. How do we celebrate St Valentine’s day?
2. Who Was St Valentine?
3. What is his message? **
(1) Music suggestions :
Bowie or the more recent Isakov’s Valentine’s Day or endless Beetles scores about love. Could even go upmarket and impress the Classists with a Shostakovich waltz. Soundtrack from the recent film about Romeo and Juliet with the camera sweeping the Italian Renaissance villas (wrong period of Italian history but very romantic) might be just a little too indulgent. Tell me the music you used.Inspire.
**(2) Video: You Tube: Top 10 romantic gestures
(3) Bible reading
(4) Final thought
(5) Call to action
**
Below is a basic outline of the Saint which you could use.
The rest is done for you but can easily be slighly adapted.
Enjoy and share your Valentine Day with me.
He was a Roman Priest in Roman times when Claudius was emperor. He was persecuted the church at that time,He also had an edict that prohibited the marriage of young people. This was based on the hypothesis that unmarried soldiers fought better than married soldiers because married soldiers might be afraid of what might happen to them or their wives or families if they died.
This assembly would suit Secondary children.
(1) Who were the wise men?
(2) What gifts did they take and why?
(3) How were they changed by their experiences?
This includes:
Music: Star of Wonder’ by Tori Amos as an MP4 file- on youtube . It begins ‘We three Kings…’ The link is included.
Video- see below
Bible reading
Prayer
Final thought
Call to action
Reviewed as:
‘This is the best narration of the journey of the Magi that I have ever heard! Beautifully paced, exactly right. I had seen a great narration of TS Eliot’s poem on TV some years ago done by Timothy West, and was looking for it on You Tube when I came across Tim Martin’s version which I think it is even better.Just love it.’
A nice review would be similarly most welcome.
