Service for Church Schools This
Sunday saw the first of what will hopefully become an
annual event – a service in All Saints Church for
the Church Schools in our parish. As a
parish we are privileged to have two Church Schools. From
my own work with the schools I can personally testify to
the joy of working with both pupils and staff. In these
days of increasing secularism it is a real privilege to
share with them our own experience of God’s love and
also be a part of what God is doing in those places. A major
part of the service was the participation and personal
input from several pupils. Many people from our parish
are involved in various ways with the schools and this
should be encouraged (there are plenty of opportunities!)
– it is a particularly worthwhile way not only of
expressing and sharing our faith but also of supporting
the excellent work done by the schools in a practical way. I am
already looking forward to next year’s service! Elizabeth Bussmann |
