During the final two weeks of this half-term, form groups were given a Christmas bauble with a prayer template to follow. The aim was for each form group to devise their own Christmas prayer. Each form group was given the opportunity to prayerfully consider the varying aspects of Christmas and compose a suitable prayer. The Christmas Tree Bauble Prayer Space is currently on display in the Chapel.
This event is part of a rolling programme where Prayer Spaces are a vital part of the spiritual life of The Ellesmere Port Church of England College and these will be take place regularly where students and staff will be encouraged to consider and reflect upon key themes.
Mr Anderson, Chaplain at The Ellesmere Port Church of England College noted that, “It was encouraging to view a range of prayers given by form groups – some involved caring about those who are less fortunate than ourselves or the world around us. Others included prayers to consider the deeper meaning of Christmas.”
Bradley B, Year 9 student said: “I love baubles so it was a fun way of thinking about others.”
Jake J, Year 9, added: “It was an activity that helped you to reflect.”
