Monday's Mission Assembly

Mrs McAloon led Monday's school Mission assembly and asked the pupils if they had ever experienced a wonderful surprise. Answers ranged from getting a new puppy, to spotting the Easter bunny. This element of surprise was linked with what happened during Holy Week. Mrs McAloon shared the bible story of the surprise Mary Magdalene, a follower of Jesus, had when she saw that Jesus was no longer in the tomb and her feeling of joy when she realised that Jesus was with her. We were reminded of being filled with similar joy on Easter Sunday and how we can all feel renewed by the resurrection of Jesus and the hope which this can bring. Mrs McAloon talked about the cross in the foyer of the school whereby pupils think of a their own prayer and attach this to the cross using tissue paper. As we begin a new term, we reflected on how each of us can spread the hope of the Good News through living out the themes of the Crackley Compass.
