    Our Collective Worship theme this week focused on the Parables of Jesus. We thought about mustard seeds and yeast and how great things can happen from small gestures and beginnings and how we can grow and flourish at all times. We’ll continue to think about parables and the messages we can take from these until Autumn half term.
