Welcome Back! This Week’s Worship Focus: Being God’s Children — How Does God Lead Us?
As we settle into our first full week of the Autumn Term, collective worship provides a wonderful opportunity for our school community to gather, reflect, and look ahead to the new academic year together. Throughout this week, our children will explore what it means to be guided as God's children and how we can build one another up as we step into new classes and routines.
A Week of Worship at St Stephen’s
Monday: Merit Assembly: We kick off the term by coming together to celebrate achievements, positive starts, and living out our school values.
Tuesday: Church Worship: Led by St Stephen’s Church, Lauren Talbot will explore our weekly theme alongside the verse "Building each other up" and what it means for Christians today. We are also delighted to welcome Annalise, who is taking over the Children's Pastor role at St Stephen's.
Wednesday: Singing Assemblies: Both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 gather for vibrant singing sessions, lifting our voices and learning new songs of praise for the new term.
Thursday: Key Stage 1 Worship: Our younger pupils gather for reflection and prayer focused on how God leads us.
Friday: Key Stage 2 Worship: We round off the week by reflecting on how we can apply these lessons to build each other up in our everyday school lives.
Music of the Week: Serenade No.13 in G Major ('A Little Night Music')
This week in assembly, our pupils discovered one of the most famous pieces of classical music ever written: Serenade No.13 in G Major, better known as 'Eine kleine Nachtmusik' (which translates to 'A Little Night Music').
Written in 1787, this lively, joyful piece was originally composed as a lighthearted evening performance for a small ensemble - making it the perfect piece to brighten up our assemblies this week!
