Earlier in the year, the School Principal and the Anglican Vicar as real neighbours discussed the possibility of giving the Religious Education children an experience of a Christmas church worship, and in the church that has sat beside the school for longer than a hundred years. The event happened in the final week of the school year, and the Vicar led two services, one for the young kids and then one for the upper grades. The Vicar, his wife at the keyboard, and his son and daughter as singers and puppeteers for the Christmas skit, led the service. Other adults who helped him were the RE volunteers who had brought RE to the school every week, half an hour a week, for the year. Peter did not want to miss this and so was there on one of his off days. He, two teachers and a teacher's aid were the accompanying adults who walked from the school, for both groups. The service seemed more solemn than fun but it was a start... something worth doing from now on at the end of each year.
