Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Worship with Rev. Ben ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_4563.jpeg) 6 February 2025 Today, we had worship with Rev. Ben, which began with a fun yet challenging relay-style game where we had to balance ping pong balls on a paper plate while moving carefully across the hall. Rev. Ben explained that, just like in the game, life can sometimes feel unsteady or difficult, especially when we are upset or facing challenges. To help us reflect on this, Rev. Ben showed a clip about what Jesus did when he was feeling deeply sad the night before his death. The video illustrated how Jesus turned to God in prayer, seeking strength and comfort during his time of sorrow. Rev. Ben explained that, just like Jesus, we can share our worries and struggles with God, knowing that He listens and understands, and can help us through even the toughest times. He reminded us that no matter how we feel, we are never alone—God is always there to support and guide us. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_4563.jpeg) [Reception](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Year 1](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Year 2](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Year 4](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [Year 5](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [Year 6](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [Religious Education](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [Worship Our Way](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship-our-way) [Spirituality](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/spirituality) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-2AF1A74F-931C-413B-8B3D-79A876E7A334.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-05-year-3-pshe-lyfta-know-yourself-grow-yourself-exploring-mental-health-and-aspirations-thr) Previous ### [Year 3- PSHE- Lyfta- Know Yourself, Grow Yourself: Exploring Mental Health and Aspirations Through Malahat’s Story](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-05-year-3-pshe-lyfta-know-yourself-grow-yourself-exploring-mental-health-and-aspirations-thr) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-6F80D939-1194-4B67-B45B-7671321ACBF0.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-06-year-3-english-sparking-ideas-for-the-iron-man) Next ### [Year 3- English-Sparking Ideas for The Iron Man](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-06-year-3-english-sparking-ideas-for-the-iron-man) ### Personal Development - [News](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
