Welcome to this week's worship and (albeit a little bit early) we are beginning our journey through Advent, just like Christians all over the world will be doing in getting ready to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
In this worship we are introduced to the them of 'Calm & Bright' which comes from the very famous Christmas Carol, "Silent Night" and we consider Gabriel and the message of hope he brought to Mary and, of course, to the whole world.
I hope you find it helpful in focusing your thoughts around Christmas, please do remember to leave a comment!

Thank you for this worship. We have learnt about how Mary might have felt at this time and it was interesting to try to picture events from Angel Gabriel's point of view. Have a lovely calm and bright week!

We enjoyed that assembly as it links with our 'Journey through Advent' work, which we are completing in RE. Help us to show hope and to be hopeful. We will be sending you some of our prayers for hope - We look forward to writing them for worship.
Mary's calmness is a reminder to us that we too can be calm and listen to God, he has a plan.
Help us to find hope in difficulties and always have positive expectations.

We have never seen an angel before either. We are starting to learn songs for our Carol Service.

We thought about how Mary would feel when she saw the angel. She could have been shocked, confused, surprised, terrified, traumatised, discombobulated and anxious.

Great vocabulary 4C, discombobulated is a wonderful word! You are right,there is a whole range of emotions which she possibly experienced.

We explored how Mary must have felt when the angel appeared - lucky, happy, shocked, astonished, privileged to have met an angel, confused, discombobulated, honoured and anxious.
