This week, we have been learning about churches. We discovered that a church is a place where Christians come to worship. Christians are people who believe in the religion, Christianity. There are lots of different types of churches all over the world: some new and some old.

Christian worship involves praising and thanking God. There are lots of ways Christians worship God: through music, songs or hymns; reading from The Bible; saying prayers; listening to sermons. Church services can be different depending on the church and the type of service.

We visited St. John’s Church, where Rev. Sharon encouraged us to go on a hunt for lots of objects. Can the children recall what they discovered by looking at these photos? Who sits in the pews? Who does the chair belong to? What are the numbers for? Where does the water in the font come from? Why are there pictures in stained glass windows?

Look at our own stained glass windows, which required us to cut carefully and tear tissue paper into correctly-sized pieces.

We also built our own model of the church.

Thank you to the parents, who were able to join us for our trip.
