Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Collective Worship- Seeking Truth and Evidence ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-59E8535B-93AC-454F-A98F-1297B78EF29C_(1).png) 26 June 2025 Today's worship began with the children singing the song "Jesus Strong and Kind." Following the song, James, Jack, and Lily from Year 4 signed the Trinity, adding a visual element to the worship. Next, the whole school participated in a "Spot the Difference" challenge. Rev. Matt then shared a message emphasizing the importance of delving deeper to find the truth, stating that the Bible provides accounts based on evidence, not made-up stories. He read the Bible story "The Earth Shakes," with children actively participating by acting out the movements described. To encourage reflection and the concept of "living life in all its fullness," the children paired up for a "Question Time," pondering how they could find out more about Jesus. The idea was put forward that we can learn about Jesus by doing what he did and by exploring historical accounts, reflecting how deeply faith is woven into our experiences. The worship concluded with a prayer asking for help to seek evidence. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-59E8535B-93AC-454F-A98F-1297B78EF29C_(1).png) [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) [History](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/history) [Religious Education](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/5C66DD63-0A8D-457F-BFA1-E539EADA353E.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-26-reception-spectacular-space) Previous ### [Reception - Spectacular Space! ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-26-reception-spectacular-space) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/unnamed_(19).jpg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-27-friday-celebration-worship) Next ### [Friday Celebration Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-27-friday-celebration-worship) ### 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/)
