Heroes of Faith

Be Still

Be centred in Faith

Welcome to Term 4! I trust you all enjoyed your holiday break with loved ones and are ready to begin another busy term.

Our first hero of faith this term is David. His stories are found in the Books of Samuel 1 and 2. David was brave, courageous and centred in his faith. He knew that all things were possible when God was the centre of his life.

Some interesting facts about David:

• David was born around born in 907 BCE. He was King of Israel for 40 years!

• David was a shepherd boy who protected sheep from wolves.

• Even though David was young, he was BOLD and full of FAITH.

• David would spend time each day in PRAYER and MEDITATION, praising God for all things.

• David built a temple in Jerusalem to worship God.

• David was very musical, playing the harp and writing poems and songs worshipping God.

David was a humble man who knew that all things were possible in God who strengthened him. His loyalty and love of God, allowed him to rule with compassion, gratitude and justice.

This Friday, Year 6 students will be participating in a Confirmation Retreat, and on Sunday will be confirmed. Please keep these students in your paryers.

I wish you all a very happy and peaceful week ahead.
