We celebrated the annual the annual Year 7 Advent Service on the 9th and 10th December with parents and staff. We had a lovely evening reflecting on the meaning of Advent. The Music and RE departments had worked together in preparation for this service which was divided into three reflections.

1. The Jesse Tree – A reflection on the hope and anticipation felt by the people of God in the Old Testament whose longing for the Messiah was inspired by God’s word spoken through the Prophets.
2. The Annunciation – A reflection on the faith and trust in God demonstrated by Mary when she heard the wondrous news that she was to conceive Jesus.
3. The Journey – A reflection on the difficult journey undertaken by Mary and Joseph due to the Roman census only to find there was no room in the inn!

This was a wonderful evening and our Year 7 students led both parents and staff in a thought provoking service helping us all to identify with the importance of the Advent season.
