Community Worship Night 2023

We are so blessed as a special character school to hold events like the Worship Night to create a space for our school and our wider community to worship God together. The night consisted of supper before the service, worship led by Equippers, an item performed by KingsWay students and a guest speaker discussing the theme of salvation. As the body of Christ, we are called to live in community with each other, and the Worship Night is a wonderful event on the school calendar that enables this and reflects the vision and purpose of KingsWay School. One thing that is fantastic to see is different groups of people collaborating to produce an event that points towards Jesus. Our purpose as a Christian community of learning, nurturing young people towards their full potential as servant leaders in the Kingdom of God, is evident in the way that KingsWay students willingly served at the worship night; students helped with organisation, set up, car parking, baking and praying for their peers. The Worship Night is a wonderful event within the year; we are looking forward to seeing it grow and continue using this evening to share the love of Jesus.

Theme

We decided to centre the evening around a theme to serve as the purpose of the evening. I am passionate about the theme of salvation, as it is at the start of every Christian's walk. The goal of the Arts Council for the Worship Night this year, is to ensure that there is an opportunity for the Holy Spirit to work in the lives of those who attended. Therefore, when we started planning the event, we felt prompted to have salvation as the theme of the evening.

Partnership with Equippers Worship

Over the past two years, KingsWay School has collaborated with Equippers Worship, with the music group coming in to serve at our community events. The team has been incredible, with worship leaders, musicians and production specialists collaborating with our student leaders, teachers, and Senior School Arts Council; the partnership has been something really special. Events like the Community Worship Night have created space for our wider community to come together to worship and fellowship together, which has been so important after the past few years of little to no events. We are incredibly grateful for Equippers and their heart to work with our school. We are excited for what the future holds and for this event to continue to grow.
