St John the Baptist day services


Today we once again gathered together in the church to remember the life and example of St John the Baptist.


Our thoughts were drawn to the importance of building a close and strong relationship with God through the retelling of John's story - some great acting that included the eating of locusts, ( not real I hope!) honey as well as some other bizarre choices of Frosties, crisps and fruit! All really getting us to focus on the fact that our relationship with God is strengthened through prayer, reading our bible and meeting together with others and not what food we eat.

Our prayers and reading were done by our foundation and year 3 classes, who all read clearly and confidently, sharing the passage about St John and leading us in our prayers of response.


We also sang for the first time in church the Chris Tomlin song - Water you turned into wine, along with some brilliant actions introduced to use by some of our children in year 3.


The KS2 service was finished off with a performance by our ukulele band, who have been working hard together over the year. A great performance of such classics as Yellow submarine and I feel good. They all received a standing ovation at the end.

For the first time this year it didn't rain as we made our way to and from. Maybe summer is on its way at last!
