With Christ at our side to guide us,
we shine in all that we do.
The children from St Bede’s Church Children’s Liturgy, some of the Mini Vinnies and some of our school children put on a fantastic Nativity performance at church yesterday morning.
The actors were great and the Narrators read beautifully. Everything was coordinated by Mrs Wheeler and Mrs Elwood. Well done everyone!
The choir sang at St Bede’s Carols by Candlelight Service tonight. They sang beautifully and received many lovely comments from the parishioners and visitors. Well done girls!
Year 2 was buzzing on Tuesday with the chatter of the Mini Vinnies hard at work decorating Advent candles.
On Sunday, as it was the first Sunday of Advent, the Mini Vinnies then handed out their beautiful candles to each family within St Bede’s parish as they went into Mass.
The Mini Vinnies also enjoyed attending the Children’s Liturgy and getting involved in learning about and dressing the Jesse Tree.
The Mini Vinnies made some lovely flowers for the May Procession at St Bede’s Church and they were joined at mass today by children making their First Holy Communion as well as children from St Bede’s Children’s Liturgy group.
They processed into church carrying their flowers and placed them around the feet of Mary in celebration of Our Lady.
As part of the Forward Together in Hope initiative, the Mini Vinnies decorated candles to give out to families of the parish at Mass on the Feast of Christ the King.
Here are the Mini Vinnies hard at work.
Today, the Mini Vinnies went to mass at St Bede’s Church. They joined in with the Children’s Liturgy, helped dress the Jesse Tree and gave out candles to each family in the Parish.
Freya read beautifully at the Children’s Mass – she introduced the Jesse Tree and explained that the Mini Vinnies would be giving out candles so that each family could share in some private prayer together during Advent. Lauren and Abbey attended the evening Mass (Lauren attending both Masses) and they did a super job together, with Lauren reading this time.
Mrs Kennedy was so proud of the children. They were so well behaved and prayerful during Mass and there were lots of lovely comments about them from the Parishioners. Well done!
St Bede’s Mini Vinnies organised a fundraiser for Children in Need. All children were invited to pick a rubber duck to enter into the Annual Children in Need Duck Race. Thank you to everyone who took part – we raised a fantastic £193.00.
The children gathered in the hall to watch the race live with thousands of other people around the country.
With much excitement, the children watched their ducks live on screen make their way along the dramatic course, eager to see their duck win the race.
Of course, the winner was Pond, James Pond!!
And the winning children were …
