At Ellel St. John’s, we are blessed with beautiful and spacious grounds and we want to develop these areas into permanent prayer spaces that all members of our school community can access and use for personal prayer at any time. The Worship Council are very proud and excited to be involved in the development of this element of Worship at Ellel.

We are supporting and leading our fellow pupils as they learn to use the prayer spaces around our grounds. We have written a set of non-negotiables to ensure mutual respect for all involved and to help everyone to get as much as possible from their time of prayer:

Prayer Spaces – Easter 2024

Members of the Worship Council led the whole school, as class at a time, in some beautiful and reflective Easter Prayer Space activities on the last day of term. Each group was supported by Rev. Craig, Rev. Ian, Mrs FitzGerald or Mrs Massey.

Each class is also making use of our Prayer Spaces during their Class Worship and Stilling Time. Have a look at the evidence below:
