10.2.20 Collective worship committee - child led worship - endurance

Class: Church Links & RE Year: 2019 - 2020

Today the collective worship committee planned and delivered a worship on endurance. They discussed what endurance is and asked the children how they show endurance. They played a video of Daniel in the lion's den, which linked nicely to our bible teaching, and after they asked how Daniel showed endurance. They ended their worship with a prayer they had written and some quiet reflection time. Well done. 

Here are some of the children's responses throughout the worship.
