Holme Church of England primary school ~ Collective Worship rota Autumn 2 2015
Assemblies should follow a four part model of worship and the format “Gathering, Engaging, Responding, Sending” (GERS) which is the outline format for any act of collective
worship. Please see http://www.ely.anglican.org/education/schools/collective_worship/ideas/ for more details on this model in order to ensure that the Christian message is really delivered
well in each assembly. Good websites to use: http://www.ely.anglican.org/education/schools/collective_worship/ideas; http://www.barnabasinchurches.org.uk
