School Assemblies for Reluctant Preachers
Marcus Paul has written ‘School Assemblies for Reluctant Preachers – How to be Successful in Ten Minutes with a Teenage Audience’. Marcus has experience of taking assemblies in seven schools and three continents over period of 40 years – often on a weekly basis. He writes:
Almost every school in the country has at least one Christian teacher, but many are fearful of speaking Christianly in public, especially perhaps in their place of work. If TISCA, or more widely the Church, could help to reverse this situation and equip Christian teachers to speak well on stage or in chapel to their charges and colleagues, we could make a significant contribution to the belief patterns of the next generation.
Marcus is happy to share individual assemblies from the Contents page with TISCA members upon request as long as these are used only by the requesting member on a ‘sole usage’ basis and not reproduced.
