Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Whole School Worship - V.E. Day & The Lord’s Prayer ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_4406.jpeg) 6 May 2025 Our worship began with an introduction to V.E. Day. Mrs Ham gave a short explanation about the Second World War and the celebrations that took place after Europe’s victory in 1945. There will be a number of worships and activities taking place across the week to commemorate 80 years since the end of World War II, including our Red, White and Blue day on Friday. Mrs Ham and Mrs Araujo then launched this week’s Year of Prayer activities. Our focus was then directed to The Lord’s Prayer. Mrs Ham spent some time explaining the first few lines to make sure everyone in our school family understands what they are praying about when they recite The Lord’s Prayer. We focused particularly on the word “hallowed” and that this means holy. We shared our ideas of how we can carry out God’s wishes and that we can all try to be like saints. The children had some extremely thoughtful ideas about welcoming people and why it is important to make others feel welcome. We finished by reciting The Lord’s Prayer once more and then singing one of our favourite worship songs, My Lighthouse. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_4406.jpeg) [Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [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) [History](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/history) [Religious Education](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [Christian Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/christian-values) [Year of Prayer](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-of-prayer) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/Barney-s_Best_Bits_(2).png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-02-barney-s-best-bits-summer-1-week-2) Previous ### [Barney's Best Bits- Summer 1 Week 2](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-02-barney-s-best-bits-summer-1-week-2) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0805(1).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-07-online-safety-fostering-a-sense-of-belonging) Next ### [Online Safety: Fostering a Sense of Belonging](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-07-online-safety-fostering-a-sense-of-belonging) ### 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/)
