Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 119:105).
Participation in religious services is associated with numerous aspects of human flourishing, including happiness and life satisfaction, mental and physical health, meaning and purpose, character and virtue, and close social relationships. Our school enjoys strong links with St Bartholomew’s Church, West Pinchbeck. Our services take place at church regularly and we collaborate:
- Liturgical Events in the Church Calendar (Harvest, Remembrance, Christmas, Easter)
- Special Occasions in the life of our School
- Thirsty on a Thursday
- Historical National Events
Our children bring love and hope to elderly members of the village community as well as creating opportunities for the future community to come and worship together. Psalms 145:4 One generation shall praise thy works to another and shall declare thy mighty acts.
Christingle Carol Service - December 2023
As dusk set, light shone through the beautiful church windows of St Bartholomew’s as our community gathered to celebrate this wonderful time of year, filled with the spirit of Christmas and sharing with joy the message brought to the world through the birth of a child over 2000 years ago, through stories, poetry and song. I would like to offer my sincere thanks to our wonderful children for leading our Christingle and Carol Service and shining their light. Miss Cox
