A group of children shared a beautiful Collective Worship with their friends all about the feast of Pentecost. The children gathered together to the song, ‘Shine the light of Jesus,’ then two boys read a passage from the Bible about the story of Pentecost.

Finally the children shared a mission for the week of asking their friends to find a few quiet moments within each day to say a prayer for someone they know.
