Our Latest News
Ahead of today’s Remembrance Sunday, we held a special worship to launch our learning all about remembrance.
We were very privileged to welcome our veteran friends and Marlene from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, who shared their knowledge and experiences with us, helping us to understand why it is so important that we remember those who have served and sacrificed so much for our freedom.
Our visitors helped us to make a special link to our current church value of Compassion, reminding us of the importance of showing kindness, empathy and respect towards others.
Following worship, our Year 5 children were fortunate to take part in an in-depth question and answer session with our veterans. This provided a wonderful opportunity to listen, learn and ask thoughtful questions.
Today, on Remembrance Sunday, we pause to remember all those who have given their lives in service, those who continue to serve, and the families affected by conflict.
🌺 We will remember them. 🌺
