Lifepath helps Christians in local communities organise an event to which they can invite local schools
What is Lifepath?
Lifepath aims to give junior school pupils the opportunity to explore the Christian faith
through the "life path" of a well known historic Christian with a link to the location, and
to use this as a springboard to encourage them to reflect on their own "life path".
All shapes and sizes
Lifepath events come in all shapes and sizes – large events for hundreds of children
spread over several days, through to smaller events that just take place on one
day. These events can:
-
happen in term time during the school day with teachers present
-
work in indoor or outdoor venues
-
take a story from any century
-
last for as many days as there are schools wanting to attend
-
happen at any point in the school year.

-
