‘Celebrating the Word in School’
Perfect for Teachers and Pupil-Led Liturgical Prayers
The Wednesday Word Leaflet Mission is rooted in evangelisation, aiming

assemblies or as a catalyst for other prayerful opportunities. A couple of
simple ‘starting points’, for teacher or pupil led prayers, are included on our
free 5 & 10 Minute Suggestion Sheet: ‘Celebrating the Word in School’
