St Matthew’s
Friday Feature

Friday 23rd September 2022

St Matthew’s Day
“On Wednesday 21st September, our class and 5/6LW were fortunate enough to go on a pilgrimage to our local church: St Matthew’s. We went on this special journey to celebrate St Matthew’s Day. Reverend Lisa and Malcom shared parts of the gospel with us and special prayers whilst we took candles and our new school prayer. When we were at church, we also held a minutes silence to remember Matthew. On this day, the whole school wore red to show respect towards Matthew and what he has done for us. We used this occasion to make voluntary contributions towards the maintenance of the church roof. “ by 6KS
