STAY IN THE CLASSROOM, ON
STAY on Sunday
Our group that meets every 2nd,
4th & 5th Sunday of each month
continues to deepen faith, challenge
world views and grow our confidence
in who God is and who he calls us to
be in the world. Most recently
we have looked at the theme of
relationships and covered
topics such as: ‘Is it ever ok
to judge others?’ and ‘What
is our relationship with
our phone like?’ The young
people were shocked to
learn that the first mobile
phones didn’t have the
internet, didn’t have snap
chat or instagram, they
barely worked as a phone
sometimes with poor
reception in many places!
STAY in Schools
As part of the STAY youth work we
continued this month with our work
in all four local schools through
assemblies and mentoring. Plus we had
the privilege of being part of the values
day at Sonning School and a special
prayer activity with Piggott students.
Values Day at Sonning
On Thursday 24 March, I had the
privilege of helping at Sonning
School with their ‘School Values Day’.
We covered curiosity and respect
with years 3 and 4 and we looked at
courage and aspiration with years
5 and 6. Some of the answers to the
questions were simply brilliant and
at times humorous:
Q: What are you scared of?
A: 'Smelly cheese', 'Spiders' and
'Roller coasters'.
Q: What are you interested in?
A: 'Tech', 'Bugs and insects' and 'God'.
Prayers for Ukraine
Our work at The Piggott School Wargrave continues
to help grow and embed the school's Christian values
and vision among the students. This month we had the
privilege of leading students in writing positive thoughts,
messages of hope and prayers, on blue and yellow leaves,
for the people of Ukraine. We then took their leaves
and added them to the reflection room tree.
