Everyone really enjoyed the visit and learned some great things! We discovered that the Bible can be like a torch, honey, and gold. Just like a torch helps us see in the dark, the Bible can guide us through life. It’s like honey because it’s full of sweet stories about kindness and love, and it’s like gold because it’s so precious and important to Christians. Rev Ben answered lots of our questions, such as when he got his first Bible, what his favourite Bible story is, when he became a Christian and a Vicar, and whether he reads any other books besides the Bible. He also brought in three of his own Bibles for us to look at—one he received when he became a Vicar, which has a tiny pearl inside, one he reads with his family, and another that has a different part to read each day. We would like to say a big thank you to Rev Ben for visiting us and helping us learn more about the Bible and why it is so special to Christians. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/168B2715-112D-4D1E-A3BA-8F4F5BFC9C5F.jpeg) [Year 2](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [Religious Education](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/visits-and-visitors) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_6174(1).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-01-online-safety-ea-sports-fc-26) Previous ### [Online Safety: EA Sports FC 26](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-01-online-safety-ea-sports-fc-26) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_7818.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-03-key-stage-1-multi-skills-festival-at-st-bedes) Next ### [Key Stage 1 Multi- Skills Festival at St Bedes ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-03-key-stage-1-multi-skills-festival-at-st-bedes) ### 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/)
