Everyone welcome! # Whole School Worship - How Can We Flourish Together? ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_4945.jpeg) 23 June 2025 Today, in our collective worship, we shared ideas of what it means to flourish. The children had some fantastic thoughts, including being the best you can be, persevering, sharing with others and appreciating what God has given us. We looked at each one of our Christian values and decided how they could help us to learn and grow together. Mrs Ham reminded us of some of the “wows” and the “ows” in the world and we discussed how they make us feel. We reflected on the part we can all play by taking action to prevent the suffering in the world. We ended our worship with a reminder and a celebration of the ways we at St Barnabas have affected change in our communities and in the wider world. These included supporting our local refugees, collecting preloved coats for the homeless, raising money for East Lancs Hospice and collecting tinned food and toiletries for our harvest appeal. The children articulated that we all flourish when we aim to make the world a better place. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_4945.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) [Religious Education](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [British Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/british-values) [Enrichment](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/enrichment) [Christian Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/christian-values) [Courageous Advocacy](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/courageous-advocacy) [Spirituality](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/spirituality) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/vision_1.PNG)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-20-another-week-of-achieving-great-things-living-life-in-all-its-fullness) Previous ### [Another Week of Achieving Great Things & Living Life in All Its Fullness!](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-20-another-week-of-achieving-great-things-living-life-in-all-its-fullness) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_5118(2).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-24-year-6-performing-arts) Next ### [Year 6 - Performing Arts](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-24-year-6-performing-arts) ### 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/)
