His faithful love endures forever.

Week 7
We shall be thinking about angels as messengers - not only in the story of Mary and the angel Gabriel but also in the story of Elizabeth and Zechariah as we prepare for our Nativity recording on Wednesday.
Do practise 'Thanks and praise ' which we will be singing at the end of our nativity and any songs that your class will be singing too.
A verse to reflect on:
The angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, because I am bringing you some good news. It will be a joy to all the people. Today your Saviour was born in David’s town. He is Christ, the Lord. Luke 2: 10.11
Happy Christmas everyone!

Week Six
We shall be hearing about Ruth, the mother of Obed who in turn was the grandfather of King David who of course is in Jesus' family tree.
It is a story of rescue and faithfulness and is a reminder for Christians that Jesus, by dying on the cross, came to rescue people from the wrong things that cause a barrier between them and God.
The story of Ruth, a member of Jesus' family tree,( the Jesse tree) is a reminder of God's faithfulness and Ruth's trust in God .
As we prepare for our nativity please sing the songs below.

Joshua cairn.mp4
This week we are looking at vulnerability- it is not a commonly used word and might not seem easy to explore with children – but it is something we all experience and see in the world,. Christians are reminded throughout the Bible that God’s power and grace is enough, that even in times of vulnerability, we will not be left abandoned or alone.
We will be looking at the story of Mary anointing Jesus and showing what she believed even with people who were critical of Jesus and followers of Jesus. We shall also be exploring how it is good to ask for help from people we trust and ask God to help us when we feel vulnerable.
Please keep the conversation going with your class all week as you unpack the meaning of vulnerability for ourselves and others.
The song for both Key Stages is :
Be bold ,be strong
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRvCUz6KFB4
A song for reflection is :
I have a friend in Jesus , Life tree kids
