In the Bag contains 30 assemblies - 10 for each school term - which are ideal for busy teachers, clergy or anyone who is invited into schools to take assemblies.

Assemblies provide an excellent opportunity to meet with children and share the Christian faith with them, but those who take assemblies often find that there is little time for preparation and are looking for ideas that are ready to use.

As well as general themes such as 'Prayer', 'Getting close to Jesus' and 'God's rules', these assemblies also cover the main festivals and events of the Church year: Christmas, Holy Week, Harvest and Christian Aid Week.

Each assembly is clearly laid out and includes:

• Theme/Aim
• Props
• Method
• Message
• Suggested prayers and hymns

In the Bag can be used in what­ever way suits you best: take each assembly as it is outlined, or let the book be a prompt and inspi­ration for the development of your own ideas.
