Worship with St John the Baptist Church
Church Worship
Our school enjoys close links with St John the Baptist Church. Each Wednesday a member of the Church's School Worship Team comes into school and leads worship, with support from the pupil Collective Worship Team. Rev. Sarah often comes into school to visit our classes and the children particularly enjoy her Godly Play sessions. At least twice a term we attend the church to celebrate key Christian festivals.
Harvest Festival
We enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate our Harvest Festival in St John the Baptist Church. Our Year 6 children showed our Reception class the way we walk to church and helped them place their Harvest gifts at the altar. Children from each class shared what they had been learning about God's generosity through the gift of Creation. Rev. Sarah helped us to reflect on the importance of sharing God's gifts with others.
Reception Welcome Service
It was a privilege to welcome our Reception Class and their parents to worship with us at our annual Reception Welcome service. Rev. Sarah reminded the pupils, parents, Year 6 Worship Team and staff that St John's is their church and they are always welcome to come there. The children were also presented with a book which shared stories from the bible with them, and a copy of the school prayer so that they can share this with their parents. thank you for joining us parents.
