Aspiration Collective Worship Session!

This purposeful and original collective worship session aims to inspire children to be aspirational, through:

-Understanding what aspiration is and recognising why it is important;

-Finding out about successful and inspirational people who have been aspirational, gone on inspiring journeys and reached their goals (examples include Ed Sheeran, Beth Mead and Malala Yousafzai);

-Understanding what the Bible teaches about aspiration through engagement with relevant scripture;

-Demonstrating the power of aspiration through a powerful video - followed by discussion questions;

-Looking at their own lives and considering how they can apply aspiration strategies (e.g. setting SMART targets, etc.)

-Ending with reflection, a prayer and a well-linked hymn.

This worship session is tried and tested, and has always been really well received in the past. It is comprehensive (23 slides in total - there is enough material for a 30-40 minute session or two 20-minute sessions). 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 - everything that you need to present the worship is included.

The PowerPoint presentation is fairly self-explanatory, but I’ve included guidance notes to assist the speaker just in case. Hope that you find this useful!
