Advent - Collective Worship Session!

This original and purposeful collective worship session aims to teach children about the meaning of advent.

-Understanding what advent is and when it is celebrated;
-Understanding different symbols and rituals of advent, for example advent wreaths and christingles, aided by an informative video;
-Learning that there are different types of ‘waiting’, and that some types of waiting are more difficult than others, through an interactive task;
-Understanding that Christians also view advent as a time to reflect on the ‘waiting’ of Jesus’ return;
-Reflecting on what has been learnt through the session;
-Ending with a prayer and a hymn about leadership.

This worship is tried and tested, and has always been really well received in the past. It is comprehensive (20 slides in total) and the slides are visually engaging and well-presented, and the subject matter is tailored to the interests and needs of young people.

No further resources are required except a beanbag or small ball for the challenge activity - everything else that you need to present the worship is included.
