Collective Worship Observations
November 2024 Our Church School Forum Member
An opening prayer was shared along with the lighting of candles. Peace was them main value explored in relation to Remembrance Day. Reverend Andy held a very interactive discussion with the children to recall the meaning of the poppy. The resolution of having hate in your heart was explored through examples relevant to today and age appropriately. The overriding message of the bible that you should treat people how you would like to be treated and to ultimately find peace. A hymn related to the theme was sang by all.
April 2025
Three candles were lit at the beginning of worship with children being reminded that they were being lit to represent God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. After the lighting of each candle the children were invited to respond ‘Jesus the light of the world is with us.’
The children spoke, when invited, with real confidence and knowledge, reviewing what the value of Trust meant to them. Children from all year groups read paages related to The Easter Story. Visual aids were used to encourage engagement with the bible story giving the children a wholly immersive experience. All children were keen to take part. Children were invited to read their prayers, showing they had taken time to consdier such a special time in the Christian calendar.
