Spirituality at St. Peter's

Spirituality at St. Peter's

At St. Peter's spirituality is about the development of a sense of self, of soul, personality and character.

 

Our Vision and Values supports the development of spirituality as a school community and for individuals.

 

How do we describe spirituality at St Peter's?

 

Christians believe that; Everyone is a valued creation, individually and uniquely made by God, in his own image.

It also refers to God as a potter and describes everyone being the work of God’s hand.
Sometimes pots can crack or break. Sometimes things happen that make us feel cracked or changed.
Christians believe that whatever happens to them in life, God is with them.
God can mend gaps and  put everyone back together.  

'We are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand'. Isaiah 64:8

Read the story of the Kintsugi story - Kintsugi is a Japanese word meaning ‘golden joinery’.  Artists use golden glue to repair cracks bringing unexpected beauty and, in some cases, allowing the light to shine through.

 

Christians believe that this unexpected beauty from repairing the cracks of life is their own unique spiritual journey which builds their relationships with others, the environment and with God.

WOWs, OWs and NOWs

WOW Moments - These are the awe and wonder moments.  The times when you want to breathe in and capture the feeling, holding onto it as long as you can. 

 

OW Moments - These are the blows life can bring.  They can knock the breath out of you.

 

NOW Moments - These are the everyday ordinary times: being able to be present in the moment, being open and receptive to life, because God is not just for emergencies!

We help each other to recognise these moments in life and to reflect on events that make us who we are. 

Everyone one will respond differently to WOW, OW and NOW moments, therefore making each crack unique to us as individuals.

 

This is how we develop our very own sense of self, soul, personality and character.

Our Own Unique Spiritual Journey.

Take a 'Now' moment

We continue to develop Spirituality with our children and staff at St Peter's. We have created a new quiet area where both children and adults are invited to spend a little bit of time taking note of being in the moment.  There is often quiet music playing in this area and there will always be a mindful activity available for anyone to complete and add to our tree. 

Open Day Saturday 27th September 2025, 10am-12 for children due to start school in September 2026.
