Easter Day in Wilsden Primary School

Following the success of our Noah's Ark days, Wilsden Primary asked if we could come in and explain the Easter story for them.  So we did!

The day started with the Paym Sunday story, carefully listened to, as the next task was for the children to draw their own interpretation of the story.  there was a prize of a Fairtrade "Real Easter story Egg" to be won so everyone tried really hard and produced some amazing pictures!

We ahred 'the last supper' with juice and bread after watching a DVD clip of this from 'The Miracle Worker' and game of Disciples Bingo to learn their names.

Everyone had a billiant time with the puppets, singing a John Hardwick favourite and shouting out "J-E-S-U-S! that's who it is JESUS!!!!" football chant style.

After lunch (a tasty chool dinner - honest!) we read the story of the crucifixion.  You could hear a pin drop ...

We all made different crosses, some sparkly, some with doves, some with hearts and stickers and even some woven with paper!  When their crosses were made the youngsters were given a Holy Week puzzle book to complete.  We continued the Easter Story with a clip of "The Resurrection" and an explanation of the Holy Week story, which the children were able to contribute to.

A bookmark to celebrate Jesus being alive completed the activities and the boys and girls eagerly waited to see who had won the Easter Egg.  Special prizes were also given to children who had been particularly helpful or kind or who had worked especially hard.

It was a real privilege for myself and members of Wilsden Methodist and URC Church to tell the Real Story of Easter to the children, some of whom had never heard the story and just as counteless others before them, were amazed by it!

Thanks once again to Calverley Methodist church who provided the crafts and prizes.

May message from the Ministry Team

Dear friends One of the ‘deep wells’ that replenishes my spirituality is the practice of ‘Lectio Divina’ which is an ancient method for praying with the Bible. It literally means ‘divine reading’, or ‘reading in a godly kind of way’. We rush about so much these days and practising the discipline of a slower reading of the Bible to allow it to speak to us is an integral aspect of Lectio Divina. If you want to try it yourself, read slowly a short passage of text that you have decided upon in advance, letting your awareness rest in turn upon each word. As you read, be alert for any particular word or phrase that draws your attention in a special way. Then meditate on this word or phrase, allowing it to engage you fully. Does the word connect with some aspect of your own experience? As you hold this in your heart, let yourself become aware of any answering words, images, or memories that arise in you. Then finally respond through prayer to the word you have heard, simply and directl...
