Religious Services 2020-21
Harvest Festival
This year we held our Harvest Festival Service in school. It was slightly different from previous years as we had to hold a virtual service instead. However, it was a lovely service full of songs and prayers and we all really enjoyed it. We are, as always, very grateful to Fr Taemin for leading the service and to our Parents/Carers for their kind donations – which will be donated to the North London Food Bank.

Rememberance Service
On Wednesday 11th November, we held our first virtual Remembrance Service in School. Each class honoured the memory of all those who have suffered or died in war. We then held a two minute silence to show our respect for all those who have lost their lives due to war.
We are very grateful, as always to Fr. Taemin for taking the service and leading us in prayer.
Advent Service
On Friday 27th November Fr Taemin explained in our virtual Assembly about the Advent wreath and candles and reminded us why Advent is such a special season. We learnt that the Advent wreath is usually a circle of greenery with five candles rising from it and that there are four candles on the outside that are purple (sometimes one is pink) and the candle in the middle is white. He explained that the candles are lit in the same order each week so that by the fourth week, the candles have burnt down by different amounts. Fr. Taemin explained that the purple candles represent prayers, penitence and preparation and that Advent marks a time for reflection in darkness, for renewal of hope and for a movement towards a new beginning. We also learnt that the pink candle represents joy and the white candle represents Jesus’ birth.
We are, as always, very grateful to Fr. Taemin for leading today’s service .
