  Wed 21 Feb 2024 Reverend Gareth

  This Sunday, St Matthew’s Church will be hosting a Messy Church invite to all. With a focus on thinking about the time Jesus spent in the desert, with desert-themed crafts and delicious food it is a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours joining together as a community.

  

• Reverend Gareth

  Wed 21 Feb 2024 Christian Worship

  Today we welcomed our local vicar Reverend Gareth into our school. Gareth talked to us about the Seasons and how the church has seasons. It was wonderful to hear stories from the Bible to help us to understand about life today. Gareth introduced us to Lent and why many Christians at this time of year give up something in remembrance of Jesus in the wilderness. We look forward to welcoming you back in school.

  How could you become someone that helps to do things in the community - This would be our special Do-Good-Ery Certificate. Pupils today talked about different projects or tasks that they could organise and do to help others. Our second very special certificate is for Sporting Achievement. What sports events or competitions are you taking part in that could be acknowledged through The Rotary Club.
