The light shines in the darkness

John 1:5-9.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out. God sent his messenger, a man named John, who came to tell people about the light, so that all should hear the message and believe. He himself was not the light; he came to tell about the light. This was the real light the light that comes into the world and shines on all people.

Let His Glory Shine

ONLINE Whole School Retreat

  • Advent Retreat

    This retreat is a wonderful way to prepare for the birth of Jesus. When schools can be so busy at this time of year and when much focus for many will be on Christmas itself, this retreat is a perfect way of preparing for the birth of Jesus.

  • An Afternoon Retreat

    All the work has been done for you by OneLife Music, meaning there is very little for the lead teacher to do! The first chapter on the platform will provide you with a Planner, Attachments and Teachers Notes and the rest is led for you on the platform. Everything has been thoughtfully structured to allow the children a time to pray, sing, share and enjoy activities and because it is pre-recorded, you can make your purchase and hold the retreat on an afternoon that is best for everyone.

  • Enjoy the Retreat as a whole school

    This retreat has been designed to be run as a whole school experience. Either by streaming to each classroom or by coming together in your school hall, take comfort in the knowledge that everyone is on retreat at the same time.
