This morning our Pupil Chaplains helped to launch our World Week with a Prayer Pilgrimage. Each class came to the hall and participated in different activities led by the Pupil Chaplains to help them to understand why people around the world are refugees and to pray together for them.
“It went really well. Lots of children enjoyed it and discovered a new understanding of different people’s lives across the world. It was interesting for me to lead the prayer session and I thought it was very special.” EM, Head Pupil Chaplain
As well as our personal prayers and quiet reflection we said a special prayer together, as we sat around the cross.
Jesus friend and brother
You know what it is like
To be hungry and thirsty
You know what it feels like
To be a stranger who is made to feel unwelcome
You know the suffering of all
Who have lost everything
We pray that by showing our care
For refugees
We may show love for our neighbour
And be closer to you
Amen
