**More on Sunday Assembly**
The Sunday Assembly movement was started in London, UK by comedians Sanderson Jones and Pippa Evans in 2013. They had both been churchgoers in their youth, stopped going, and then realized they missed something; not the religious part, but rather the community, the stimulation, the singing, the being with others, the tea and cake afterward. So they set up Sunday Assembly to see if a ‘church-like thing without religion’ could be done. And it could!
A typical Assembly program consists of (in no particular order) and lasts about 1 hour:
Songs – pop songs, or even songs of religious origin if they are lovely to listen to and sing to
Speakers– on science, history, or current affairs to get you thinking and discussions going
Reading – This could be a poem or other short piece, related to the talk or not
Doing Your Best – Someone shares a personal story about something going on in their life. It could be something they have been grappling with, striving at, succeeded with, failed but learned from, or are involved with that’s worth sharing. It’s about reminding each other that we’re all trying the best we can.
Moment of Reflection – Invite the group to do a short reflection e.g. 2 minutes.
Life Happens – Invite the group to share the highs and lows in their life.
Gratitude – Invite the group to express gratitude to their loved ones and others in life
