Prayer Day 2024

St Mary's Church was the perfect setting for a day of Prayer, Reflection and Peace. Many thanks to Father Steve and our School Governors Chris Stringfellow, Julia Pring and Kate Riches, for supporting the event to ensure that everything ran smoothly. Each child in the school enjoyed 4 activities, planned and led by the Children's Faith Group. The 4 activities, which linked to our school values were:

• Sorry Stones - children asked for Forgiveness for things we have done wrong, symbolised by pebbles
• Love Flower Candles - children wrote prayers on flowers and drew special people, before decorating the flowers and choosing a candle to light the centre of their prayer 
• Musical Prayer - many thanks to Mr Stringfellow, School Governor, who led this outdoor prayer focusing on Respect and Faith
• Peace Paper Chain - children reflected on the value of Peace and then used writing and drawing to create a colourful prayer, when all of the prayers were joined together, our Peace Prayer Chain stretched right across the Church!
