The Association of Christian Teachers (ACT) aims to serve, inspire and equip Christians working in education. They produce a range of resources and materials to support and encourage Christians working across all sectors of education. They also have a monthly prayer diary which can be used in your churches - today ACT ask us to pray for volunteers who are taking assemblies in schools. Maundy Thursday is a poignant day and has much to teach us.
Let us pray...
Loving God, we ask that you uphold and strengthen Christian volunteers today, who are taking assemblies in schools across the UK and in the coming weeks as they seek to illuminate the story of Easter, offering hope and resurrection joy...
May each one of them be guided by your Holy Word and inspired by the model of Jesus Christ, in his humility and his trust in You.
Amen

This Bible reading can help us in our prayers and reflections...
John 13:12-16 (ESV): "When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him."
