Risen Lord,
shed your light on those who live in the shadow of death
and warm the hearts of those who have lost hope,
that they who daily bear the cross of hunger
may find your Promised Land,
and move from slavery to freedom.
As we proclaim your Easter song
help us to die to greed and rise to justice,
to abandon apathy and take up action,
that rich and poor together may travel the road to freedom,
and be restored to your resurrection life.

Amen.

Prayer Prayer for Tuesday 12th May 2020

God, whom we meet in bread and wine,
in body broken and blood outpoured,
fill us with your compassion,
that we may hear the cries of the hungry
and reach out to those in need.
Engender in us a thirst for justice,
that the hungry will be satisfied
and the rich sent empty away.
Roll away our apathy
that, with arms outstretched,
we may offer life in place of death
and hope in the face of despair.

Amen.

There is something for all ages so have a go and don’t forget to share your learning! Have a wonderful day celebrating.

At 9am on 8th May, The Queen will address the nation and there will be a live stream on BBC – which is the exact same time that her father, King George VI, spoke to the UK 75 years ago, on the actual VE Day.

At 11am there will be a two minute silence to remember and thank those who fought for our freedom.

There are bigger square tables at the party with more children sitting round on each side.

WALT: Compose an Acrostic Poem.

Acrostics are a fun poetic form that anyone can write. In an acrostic poem, the first letter of each line spells a word. The word is the subject of the poem. Usually, the first letter of each line is capitalized. This makes it easier to see the word spelled out vertically down the page.
See the example below.

Very glad the war
In Europe is over
Come out and we will celebrate
That our soldiers will come home
Our men and women
Return to us
Years after they left

Choose a word or phrase to create your own acrostic poem to mark VE Day.
