Children’s & Family’s Worker
Supports Collective Worship every Wednesday and continues her work building the relationship between St John’s Church and St John’s Meads CE Primary School.
Collective Worship
We are privileged to receive Ministers from different churches who regularly input into our times of collective worship. Every week children will lead an act of worship and will lead in input, worship and prayer. We also encourage the children to feedback, reflecting on the acts of Worship they have experienced throughout the week. Each week we follow a set theme which broadly follows the Christian Calendar.
Open the Book
We have two teams of volunteers from St John’s Church who support the school going in every month with an Open the Book assembly. Open the Book is a nationally recognised curriculum that brings the Bible stories to life for the children and offers a chance for interaction and reflection.
Prayer
Children are able to pray and write prayers at our reflective station, which always runs with a Christian theme. These prayers are then used in our acts of Collective Worship.
Prayer Spaces
Areas in classrooms that give children the chance to reflect on some of the huge events of the Bible, the things going on in this world in a safe environment and carry out reflective activities. These can lead to prayer in a meaningful way.
Church Services
These are creative expressions of worship which the children participate in. We celebrate the Christian calendar and at St John’s Church we hold services for, Easter, Harvest, Ascension, Christmas and a special transition service in the summer.
