The Wednesday Word

'Scripture is at the centre of everything the Church does. 

The Word of God shapes our prayer and worship.

The Bible shows us how to understand the world, how we are called to live and relate to each other.'

Christian Meditation

 

Every day at 1pm, the children in each class meditate. The children sing and some use actions at the beginning and end of the meditation. The children repeat the mantra ‘maranatha’ three times (which means ‘Come Lord Jesus Come’.) The children sit quietly in a way that they feel comfortable.
