Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Whole School Worship with Rev.Matt ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_0304.jpeg) 3 July 2025 Today’s worship began with an exciting race, where three pairs of children took part — each child carrying a partner on their back. This fun activity led us into our Bible story: “Was Paul worried?” In the story, we saw how Paul remained strong — not just for himself, but for others too. Even in difficult times, he encouraged and supported those around him. We reflected on the idea that sometimes, we are called to look after others, especially in important or challenging situations. The children then discussed the questions: How are others strong for you? How can you be strong for someone else this week? To conclude our worship, we were reminded that being strong doesn’t always mean being the loudest or the fastest — sometimes, true strength is shown through kindness, patience and standing by someone when they need us most. We left worship thinking about how we can be a source of strength and support for others in the week ahead. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_0304.jpeg) [Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [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) [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-70DE263D-C146-4D99-ADFD-F438ED56B400.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-03-transition-day-year-2-3-getting-ready-for-year-3) Previous ### [Transition day- Year 2- 3- Getting Ready for Year 3:](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-03-transition-day-year-2-3-getting-ready-for-year-3) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/514750898_1096748755835445_8553695893892916593_n.jpg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-03-marvellous-move-up-day) Next ### [Marvellous move up day!](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-03-marvellous-move-up-day) ### 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/)
