St. Peter’s Church and our school are closely linked.  Every second Friday children from 3rd to 6th class visit the church.  Reverend Iain and Eugene are there weekly to greet us and in the church we learn some history, we enjoy singing and pray.

Children in 5th and 6th class wrote some beautiful prayers, here is Emma’s prayer from this week:

 

Christmas Prayer

We thank you for sending your only Son down to help Israel

We thank you for everything you give us at this time

We pray for the people who are remembering their loved ones at the time and

Pray for those that don’t have family to spend Christmas with

We pray that you will look after them

We remember how you sent your Son down to earth to be the saviour of the whole world

We remember the Nativity, how was there was no room at the Inn

But then a kind man let them rent a stable

and therefore, Jesus was born in a manger in Bethlehem

We thank you for all our friends, family, clean water, and fresh food

In your name we pray, Amen
