Everyone welcome! # Year 3- Class Worship- The Spread of Christianity ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-6036E417-9D42-40E5-9045-13DFCFD054DD.png) 28 November 2025 Today, during our class worship, we explored the fascinating story of The Spread of Christianity and how the faith journeyed from its beginnings to our very own local area (our Diocese). We learned that after Jesus left, his first followers were given the special job, known as the Great Commission, to share his message of love and hope with everyone. Key stories, like the coming of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost and the incredible journeys of figures like the Apostle Paul, showed us how the Church grew and traveled across the world, eventually leading to the formation of the network of churches we belong to today. This movement is why we can gather together right here to worship. After learning about the growth of the Church, we took part in our own special way of spreading something good: thankfulness. Instead of using paper or screens, we used the power of our voices and our actions to share what we were grateful for. Each person was encouraged to verbally share something they were thankful for with the person next to them, creating a "chain" or "ripple" of gratitude that spread across the room, showing how quickly and easily good words can travel when we speak them aloud.![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-6036E417-9D42-40E5-9045-13DFCFD054DD.png) [Worship](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1507.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-11-27-ks2-dpssa-football-league) Previous ### [KS2 DPSSA Football League](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-11-27-ks2-dpssa-football-league) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1881.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-12-01-year-5-geography) Next ### [Year 5 - Geography](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-12-01-year-5-geography) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
