Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Whole School Worship- Spreading God's Love and Sharing Our Talents ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-BF75F75C-BF12-4179-AB0A-3DABA4ABFF69.png) 16 July 2026 ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-BF75F75C-BF12-4179-AB0A-3DABA4ABFF69.png) During today's whole school worship, we had a session led by Rev Ben, who signed the Holy Trinity before we began a fun balloon race to reach the finishing line, where Mason, Summer, Peyton, Arlo, Charlie, Seb, and Willow weren't allowed to use their hands at all, which was highly entertaining to watch! After that, we thought about the "race of life" and St Paul, with Rev Ben reading us the story of Paul getting shipwrecked while the children joined in by repeating the words "not at all" throughout. There was a thoughtful moment aimed right at our Year 6's too, getting them to think about their next steps with the big question, "What is your task as you leave this place?" and they had some brilliant answers, saying their tasks were to spread the word of God and Jesus, show His love, and be a good friend to anyone feeling lonely at their new secondary schools. After the children shared some of their amazing talents, we ended worship with a prayer and singing "My Lighthouse" together.
