THE BIG SING LITURGY THING

For many young people, their only regular experience of church is collective worship at school. Members of the cjm|music’s team have designed the Big Sing Liturgy Thing as a feast of music, song, prayer, sign-language dance & liturgy. The format is borne out of more than 10 years’ experience leading music and liturgy in a variety of settings, with people of all ages

These events involve full 5-piece band, two dancers, a large screen audio-visual presentation, a full lighting and PA system with two technical crew.

The objective is to give young people an experience of vibrant, dynamic worship. But it is more than a “jamboree” of song, and draws on our understanding and experience of the liturgical tradition and contemporary liturgical music.

Very many thanks to all of you for the rousing celebration today. The children and I thoroughly enjoyed taking part… Thanks for the music – Y6 now have the task of teaching the rest of the school. The dance was amazing – with only that short time to rehearse. You have given the children a marvellous opportunity to experience liturgy with all the latest technology”
Sue, Sacred Heart Catholic Primary

“Thank you for a great day yesterday. It was obvious that a great deal of hard work had taken place before we even arrived. I know our children were very enthusiastic about it”
Head Teacher, St. Joseph’s Primary

There are TWO requirements for a Big Sing:

1. A cluster of 6 or more schools willing to bring young people to the event, and a lead school that will liaise with us in organising the event and passing information on to the other schools.

2. A suitable venue with a breakout space for the dance workshop, for eating lunch and adequate toilet facilities for those attending. (See our information sheet for guidelines on choice of venue)
