Year of Prayer launch
Yesterday, the whole school took part in the Blackburn Diocese's Year of Prayer launch, which was delivered (via Zoom) by Phillip, the Bishop of Blackburn.
The Diocese are launching this lovely event to celebrate their centenary year and Coppull Parish are more than happy to be involved in this as we explore how we can both underpin our own lives with prayer and develop and embed a culture of prayer in the lives of the children and young people we have the privilege of connecting and sharing our faith with.
Twenty thousand children across the Diocese are taking part in a weekly prayer and to demonstrate this experience, Bishop Phillip led all the schools taking part in today's session in 'quiet' prayer for support with something they personally need and 'noisy' prayer for countries that need peace. You can probably guess which the children enjoyed the most - it wasn't very peaceful, but they will definitely have delivered their message!
