The Wednesday Word this week is WITNESS. In the gospel Jesus talks about the heavens coming down to him when he was getting baptised. John was a witness and he described and told the others that he saw the great heavens and that John was the chosen one by God.
I will be God’s witness by being kind and saying please and thank you.
Witness means to show and tell others about your faith by how you speak or act
John the basptist witnessed Jesus being the chosen one, the son of God and he spread the good news. Like him we can help people by speeding God’s words.
This week’s Wednesday Word is witness. In the gospel, John had saw Jesus walking towards him. He told the crowd that this was the person he was talking about. Then, John started talking about him witnessing the Son of God.
We can be witnesses like John by:
. Telling the truth
. Sharing with others
. Spreading the Good News
Together, we pray that we can be witnesses like John.
Amen.
This week’s Wednesday word is WITNESS. It is about John the Baptist, who told people that something exciting will happen and that Jesus is God‘s chosen one. We should follow his example and share God‘s love with other people.
The Wednesday word is new start. I’m grateful for a new year and a new start. 🙏
In the gospel Jesus humbled himself and asked John the baptist to baptise him. He explained to John his cousin that this was the plan of God the Father. The holy spirit came upon Jesus duting his baptism so that the prophecy would be fulfilled. People witnessed an incredible miracle.
The word that stood out for me is ‘baptism’ because it reminds me of babies and babies are special. Jesus was not a baby when he was baptised though. St John the Baptist was witness to it.
This week’s word is “WITNESS”. Jesus is God incarnated and he is here to bring God good news. That is what John said of him. We have to be witness of Jesus too, spreading God’s love.
God is the light of the world, and we pray for him.
We want to share God’s love to everyone and he wants us make him proud of us.
Baptism is not just about the water that makes us clean on the outside. It’s really the start of a new life of faith.
Jesus gathers people around him, he builds a happy community that will follow him. We can be part of Jesus’ community by praying and following god’s word.
This weeks Wednesday word is Witness. A witness is someone who sees an event take place. In the Gospel, John the baptist was telling many people about Jesus, who was walking towards them. He told them about when he baptised him, and when a dove flew over Jesus. He then said that he heard Gods voice saying ” One day, when you are baptising with waters, you will see a man who the holy spirit rests upon. He will be the one who will baptise others with the holy spirit.” The word ‘witness’ links to this Gospel as John the Baptist said he witnessed God speaking to him and that he saw the Holy Spirit. In our daily lives, we can be witnesses of Jesus’ love by showing honesty and integrity, sharing and being kind to others in general.
This week’s Wednesday Word is COMMUNITY. In the Gospel, Jesus heard that John the Baptist was arrested. Then, as He walked past the sea of Galilee, Jesus saw Simon Peter and Andrew and told them “Follow me.” Then He saw James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They also followed him.
This week’s word is community. We can be part of one like:
. School community
. Marylebone community
. House community
We should always tell our community if we feel worried about something. Dear God,
I pray that others will be accepted into communities. Amen.
As a community we should all work together and help each other. we should pray that communities all work together and have no arguments so we can see and feel the kingdom of God. This could make a difference in the world. If we all work together to do this there will be more peace in the world and just a small act could make a big difference. This is how God would want us to look after the world.
The words that stood out for me are ‘gatherer of people’ because I learned yesterday that this means sharing the Good News with other people and not trapping them in fisher nets.
This week’s Wednesday word is COMMUNITY. It is where we find love, forgiveness and safety. We should follow Jesus example and look after our friends and family.
Last week’s Wednesday Word was Witness.God calls us all to be Witnesses of Jesus.We can do this by putting others first.This week’s Wednesday Word is Community.Jesus went round his community preaching in Synagogues and curing sick people.We can love our school community by helping everyone who needs it even if there not our friends.
Community is when we all work together.
This weeks word is Community .
In the Gospel James and John leave everything to follow Jesus.You can do this by tying to go to church every Sunday or you can stop what your doing and try to pray.
This week’s word is COMMUNITY. We read of when John,James and Peter were praying on a mountain and a voice came from a cloud. We can be a good community by helping someone when they are hurt and being kind.
This week’s word is COMMUNITY. Jesus wants us to be together supporting each other. In this way we can do everything faster and in a better way, following Jesus example.
The Wednesday Word of the week, is COMMUNITY.
To me, community is:
. Church
. School
. Activity
. Local Park
. Shops
. Neighbours
Community is important because we can help each other and be good friends who speak kindly to one another. We can show this with good body language , siting up right and looking at each other when talking.
Happiness is the week’s Wednesday word. We should be happy in earth and make people happy and we will have a great life in heaven.
Happy are we when we follow God’s words!!!
This Wednesday Word is happiness. We can all feel happiness anywhere like at a park, at home andat school. God always wanted us to feel happiness about anything including his beautiful creation, our home. We can make God feel happiness by protecting his world.
This week’s Wednesday Word is happiness.Jesus and God is where all happiness is found.When Jesus was teaching the Beatitudes he showed that money or power doesn’t bring you true happiness but loving God and going to heaven does.
This weeks word is happiness. It shows the beatitudes as they were teachings for Jesus to live happily with another.
This week’s Wednesday word is HAPPINESS! Happiness is the feeling where you have great joy in yourself. In the gospel Jesus teaches his disciples about the beatitudes. They are ways on how to live a good, happy life and about our attitude.
This week’s Wednesday Word is HAPPINESS. In the gospel, Jesus was on the top of a hill and started preaching. He was talking about True Happiness. Jesus said God is the owner of heaven and if you forgive, be meek and gentle, you will receive true happiness in heaven.)
We can spread happiness by:

2) Share and always care for others
3) Donate to the poor
These are just few examples, but if you do them, you will gain true happiness.
Community means being together and include everyone.
Community means being kind and nice to your friends and others.

We could follow them by:

2) Asking God to help you
3)Be nice and kind to others
To make some one happy I will make them a card.
This week’s Wednesday word is Happiness . In the gospel, Jesus sees a crowd and climbs up a hill . I think that in the gospel Jesus tries to teach us that if we are respectful and loving in our lives we will have a happy and never ending life in heaven with him . Being kind is simple it can be small but to a big difference to someone else , for example put overs before you and guide the poor , sick and lonely .
This weeks word is HAPPINESS! Jesus talks about beatitudes with calmness in his voice. Beatitudes are commandments but much smoother. They are kinder and polite. In the gospel Jesus says beatitudes are bringing happiness to the world so people could treat each other as their neighbours. This gospel teaches Christians to love God, love our planet,love others and more about heaven.
This weeks Gospel is HAPPINESS. So in the Gospel , Jesus was talking about Happiness. And if we forgive each others we find happiness in Heaven.
This week’s Wednesday Word is Happiness.In the Gospel Jesus preached about the beatitudes.These are similar to the Ten Commandments and were preached by Jesus.
The beatitudes are important because they help christians have an understanding about how to live a good life.
This week’s word is HAPPINESS. Jesus said that if you’re kind and forgiving you will be happy on Earth and will be rewarded in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Jesus says that real HAPPINESS is to be kind, gentle, caring and merciful. Not to know how to do everything.
This weeks Wednesday word is HAPPINESS. Happiness is a feeling of joy, pleasure and contentment. In this weeks Gospel, Jesus is teaching his disciples about the Beatitudes. One of the Beatitudes are,“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven“. The Wednesday Word links to the Gospel as the Beatitudes are Jesus’ way of life and the way of true happiness. Some of the ways we can spread happiness is by being kind and caring, by sharing and by living happily with each other.
This week’s Wednesday Word is GOODNESS. In the Bible, Jesus said ”You are the salt in the earth. But if salt becomes tasteless, what can make it salty again? It is good for nothing, and can only be trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill top cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp to put it under a tub; they put it on a lamp stand where it shines for everyone in the house. In the same way your light must shine in the sight of all people, so that, seeing your good works, they may give praise to your Father in heaven.”
This week’s Wednesday word is about GOODNESS. In the gospel Jesus tells us that we should be kind and let our lights shine to other people. This means that we should follow Jesus’ example in helping others and showing them kindness.
This weeks Wednesday word is GOODNESS .Having goodness means being kind and helpful at any cost. Jesus said that we should let our light shine by always helping those in need .
This week’s word is GOODNESS.In the gospel Jesus represents goodness with salt and he’s trying to teach us to be kind.So we should follow what Jesus says and pray to Jesus and God.

The word that stood out for me is ‘reward’. True happiness is loving others and God will reward you in heaven.
I will let my light shine by doing good listening.
This week’s Wednesday Word is goodness. In the gospel, Jesus says to his disciples that they are the salt of the Earth, which means that they do good things. But when he says if the salt becomes tasteless, he means what if it spreads evil? So it is our job to be the salt of the world.
We can let our light shine by sharing with others, listening always and saying positive things.
God wants people to have faith, to be happy, caring and kind to others who need support. For example, helping friends and being there for them when they need us.
This Wednesday word is goodness .We can even show goodness through our actions towards others. For example we can
.help people

we can even just try to make other peoples day enjoyable.
This week’s Wedensday Word is GOODNESS. In the gospel, Jesus teaches the discples that if you are the salt and it is tasteless,
then you cannot put it back. I think this means that if we make the wrong choice, it cannot undo itself.
This weeks word is GOODNESS. Jesus told us to spread our light to the world by being kind and caring to other people in our world. You can do this by …….
Playing with someone that is feeling left out or upset.
Helping your parents with chores.
The Wednesday word teaches us how to shine our light and all our personalities as we can all be one happy community.
The word that stood out for me is ‘salt’ because Jesus said you are the salt of the earth. Goodness for me means to LOVE others because goodness is love. God is loving. My special goodness is helpfulness. Every time someone is looking for something in the house, I run and find it! Paul’s goodness is honesty. My mum’s goodness is honesty too and lovingness.

The Wednesday word is TEACHER. A teacher is someone who teaches someone. In the gospel Jesus said that he was making a new and clearer version of the 10 commandments but he is not removing or changing anything.
He also says that if anyone disobeys the commandments they will be called the least of the kingdom.
This week’s word is TEACHER. Jesus does not come to cancel prophets’ word, but to explain its true sense. We have to follow his teaching if we want to be part of the Kingdom of Heaven.
This week’s Wednesday word is TEACHER. Jesus is our teacher so we should follow his example by spreading his word and being kind and helpful.
The words that stood out for me are ‘kingdom of heaven’ because Jesus said that good teachers will be great in the kingdom of heaven. My favourite teacher is Miss McCarry because she taught me that Jesus is not only here for one minute but forever and everywhere.
Thank you Miss McCarry, Mrs Hope, Miss Hector and Miss Kupi for teaching us to be kind.

This weeks Wednesday Word is LENT. Lent is the time before Easter, when Jesus fasted in the desert. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts 40 days. In the Gospel, Jesus was being tempted by Satan to break his fast. Lent is a time for us to make an extra effort to listen carefully to God’s word and to try to make changes for the better.
This week’s Wednesday Word is Lent.In the Gospel Jesus was fasting in the desert when Satan came and tempted him to sin.Jesus resisted the temptation and this is an example to all of us.Resisting sin can be hard ,especially when we think we will be more happy if we do.However all true happiness is found through God and we can pray to God to ask him to guide us so we do not sin.
This week’s Wednesday Word is Sacred.In the Gospel Jesus goes to a mountain top to pray with Peter ,James and John.Whilst they were their Jesus transformed and began to shine white.Moses and Elijah appeared and talked with him and God’s voice said “This is my son”.The Miracle of the Transformation is where we find out Jesus is the son of God.Before the people thought of him as their teacher.
