Everyone welcome! # Year 3- Class Worship- The Beginning of Hope: The Empty Tomb ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-3F2F9EE4-E9F8-40D6-A61E-2566043D6466.png) 24 April 2025 During our class worship today, we explored the story of the empty tomb from the Bible. The empty tomb was a huge surprise that showed everyone that even though Jesus died, he was alive again, bringing hope and joy after sadness. Following this, the children reflected on moments in their own lives when they experienced surprise and shock. Some of their suggestions included the birth of a baby cousin, the unexpected school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Isaac found out he was going to Italy for a football tournament, Naomi, when she got locked in a toilet at a play centre, Ella-Grace was invited to a Manchester United trial and when Lottie was surprised with a special birthday party. We concluded worship by sending a prayer of joy and thankfulness for Jesus coming back to life, bringing hope and new beginnings to the world. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-3F2F9EE4-E9F8-40D6-A61E-2566043D6466.png) [Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Worship Our Way](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship-our-way) [Christian Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/christian-values) [Spirituality](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/spirituality) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_7802.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-24-year-4-god-s-big-story-class-worship) Previous ### [Year 4 God's Big Story - Class Worship ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-24-year-4-god-s-big-story-class-worship) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/EXBJ4QUXsAAEOnY_(1).jpg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-24-thank-you-parents-and-carers) Next ### [Thank you parents and carers!](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-24-thank-you-parents-and-carers) ### 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/)
