Worship
This week we have continued our ‘Desert to Garden’ topic with ‘Holy Week’. Our key words this week were HOLY WEEK, JESUS and GOOD FRIDAY.
During our lessons this week we discussed Holy Week and how Jesus must have felt. We watched this video, click here, that showed us a simplified version of key events in Holy Week, in particular Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
We also watched this video all about Holy Week: click here and looked at some images to help us discuss key points to remember.
Our child led worship this week focussed on Good Friday. We spoke about how it was such a sad time. The children remembered that Jesus had a crown of thorns, they saw the blood on his hands and also remembered that Jesus died and was placed in a tomb. We thought about the questions,
Who helped Jesus to carry His cross?
Which day did Jesus die?
Where did they place Jesus’ body?
We finished our worship session listening to a hymn click here to listen.
The children said they found this one calming, and one child said it made them think of Jesus and being sad.
