Christingle
Each year our year 2 children and their year 5 partner children gather with staff & Governors for a Christingle Service. This helps to consolidate their friendships Please see below some photos of the service & some comments from the children & staff. The service was so uplifting!
" A special moment of spirituality for me was when I lit a large match from the candle which had been lit at the beginning of our Worship. That candle represented that Holy Spirit who guides us . When the large match met with the flame of our" Holy Spirit" candle there was a powerful surge of light that could not only been seen but could be heard! It was such a beautiful moment in time. "

" I enjoyed the Christingle service the morning. What a fabulous start to the day. You and your staff team lead a fabulous service, and it brought a tear to my eye singing with all the Christingles lit. What a moment to remember! I was so impressed with the friendship value so clearly demonstrated by the children, the older ones helping the year 2's, such fantastic role role models." - School Governor
