Every Picture Tells a Story!
Images can be a stimulating addition to your assemblies and prayers - either in the form of videos (perhaps accompanied by music) or simply as an aid to your talk or homily.
Also, try giving people one image rather than many changing images - it can concentrate the mind and allow you to explore what's happening in the picture... it invites you to go deeper!
You can get up to date, stimulating photographs from various news websites such as the 'In Pictures' section of the BBC website or, as you can see from the handy widget on the left, from Reuters News Agency. You can review the most recent phptographs by clicking on the pic - a new window will open! You can also download a reuters app for your iphone or ipad which is laid out really well for viewing (and e-mailing) pictures.
Do consider that some pictures may be subject to copyright or terms and conditions of use. However, as far as Reuters are concerned, their website states: 'Users may download and print extracts of content from this website for their own personal and non-commercial use only.' Examples of using a solitary image for a school assembly can be found below
