As the school holidays begin this week, did you know that the first education for children in Kirkby was in a small school room on the side of the old St. Chad's Church? Eventually, a separate building was opened in 1806, which was the school that is now Kirkby CofE Primary School.
Wishing children and staff a restful and blessed few weeks!

A prayer for this Saturday evening:

Loving God,
thank you for all that has been good this week.
Hold close those who are tired, anxious, grieving or alone.
Fill our homes with your peace and our hearts with your hope.
Help us to notice your presence in the ordinary moments of life.
Amen.

If you're looking for a place to pause, pray, or simply be, we'd be delighted to welcome you at church tomorrow.
