Tomorrow morning we'll start our Christmas Truce Outreach Project at Budrio Middle School!
We'll engage with all the 3rd year classes engaging with the theme of the 1914 Christmas Truce!
World War I was ravaging a continent, leaving destruction and rubble in its wake, but from the midst of this dark conflict comes the story of the Christmas Truce of 1914. The Christmas Truce of 1914 has been called 'the miracle on the Western Front' when British and German troops came together to celebrate, share rations and small gifts and play a game of football. But these celebrations and truces did not last long. After Christmas Day, the footballers and soldiers returned to the trenches. The Christmas carols died down and the war sadly resumed.
With a team from Peak Trinity Church, Bakewell, UK, we'll challenge students to see how events like the Christmas Truce are worth celebrating, but they leave us longing for a lasting peace!
We believe that's the Peace only Jesus can give!
