A student thoughtfully read about the Lord's Prayer and how Jesus taught it to his disciples, setting a reflective tone. Many children courageously shared their own heartfelt prayers, asking God for guidance and help with global challenges such as wars and climate change. Following the service, we enjoyed a communal lunch at the church before returning to school, a wonderful end to a meaningful morning.
