This week at St Peter’s saw the pupils of Reception Year host their first Celebration of the Word (Liturgy) in school.  Of course, this is not the first time they have welcomed families into school, as Year R put on incredible Nativity plays in December.  Fr James joined the pupils in class before the Celebration of the Word, and was present in the hall when lots of parents, carers, grandparents and little brothers as sisters joined in a worship based upon how to meet the challenges of Lent.  Fr James showed us pictures he took in the desert on a recent stop-over in the Middle East, helping the children to understand how Jesus made space to hear God’s voice before starting his ministry.

All 60 pupils in Year R were wonderful in leading the celebration through prayer, and singing two wonderful praise songs with actions thrown in, showing off to their families just how far they have come in their first six months at St Peter’s.
