Christian Assemblies II is a collection of 40 ready-made acts of collective worship for use in your primary school, brought to you by the creators of the best selling title Christian Assemblies. This volume is particularly appropriate for Church schools, especially Church of England and Roman Catholic, but also (with adaptations indicated in the text) provides assemblies of a broadly Christian character for other schools. Whatever their backgrounds, pupils can use these acts of collective worship for their own spiritual, moral and cultural development. The assemblies are organized into 10 sections, each focusing on a particular event in the Christian calendar: *Saint Matthew (September) *Harvest (October) *Advent (November/December) *Christmas (December) *Epiphany (January) *Lent (February - April) *Holy Week (March - April) *May Day (May) *Pentecost (May - June) *Trinity (June - July) Each act of worship comes in a themed set of four - one for the whole school, one each for Key Stages 1 and 2 and one set of ideas for classroom collective worship. This resource is particularly helpful to build up the experience and confidence of teachers as worship leaders.
Each set is introduced with information about the theme, bearing in mind that not all teachers have a Christian background. You will find the assemblies in this collection are presented in an easy-to-use format and can be delivered with a minimum of preparation - pick an appropriate assembly off the shelf for any part of the year.
