Everyone welcome! # Year 3- Class Worship- Exploring 'The Kind Stranger ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-9B1D9646-512B-461B-889A-EB054D5874A8.png) 7 May 2026 In class today, we took part in a 'God’s Big Story' collective worship session focused on the parable of The Kind Stranger (The Good Samaritan). We joined Iain the storyteller to revisit this famous parable and listened to Bishop Philip, who challenged us to look beyond the surface of the story. The children explored the different "layers" of Jesus' words, discussing what it truly means to be a neighbour and how we can show compassion to everyone, even those who are different from us. It was a thoughtful session that encouraged the class to think about how they can put kindness into action in their own lives. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-9B1D9646-512B-461B-889A-EB054D5874A8.png) [Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_4072.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-05-06-year-5-pe) Previous ### [Year 5 - PE](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-05-06-year-5-pe) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/3B287F25-D9D2-4510-BCFA-3FC2FE9390DC.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-05-08-celebrating-sir-david-attenborough-s-100th-birthday) Next ### [Celebrating Sir David Attenborough’s 100th Birthday](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-05-08-celebrating-sir-david-attenborough-s-100th-birthday) ### 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/)
