Easter

I looked up and I saw my Lord a coming
I looked up and I saw my Lord a coming down the road.


I looked up and I saw my Lord a weeping
I looked up and I saw my Lord a weeping for my sin


I looked up and I saw my Lord a dying
I looked up and I saw my Lord a dying on the cross


 I looked up and I saw my Lord a rising
I looked up and I saw my Lord a rising from the grave!


Alleluia, He is coming!
Alleluia He is here!
Alleluia He is coming!
Alleluia He is here!



Christ is risen!
He is risen indeed!


Have a blessed Easter.

Faithfulness

This month we are reflecting on faithfulness.

Have you heard of  geysers?

Geysers shoot hot water and steam high into the air. 
The most reliable of these is Old Faithful, which shoots water every 60 to 90 minutes and goes off about 17 times every day. 
Old Faithful isn’t the largest geyser in the park, but it’s the one that you’re most likely to see because park rangers can predict when it will go off next.
Old Faithful is predictable - it’s faithful!


Our God is faithful!
For the word of the Lord is right and true;
He is faithful in all He does.
Psalm 33:4

And what does the Bible tells us about how we should be faithful?
Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
 bind them around your neck, 
write them on the tablet of your heart.
Proverbs 3:3


What does it look like to be faithful every day? 
“Faithfulness isn’t flashy. Faithfulness is the tiny things you do when no one is watching. Faithfulness is acting on what you know to be true and right, on the days you just don’t ‘feel it’.
(from https://www.heartwork.tv/2017/11/19/what-does-it-look-like-to-stay-faithful-in-the-midst-of-everyday-life/)

Some of our Grade 3 and 7 students shared their thoughts on daily faithfulness.


We also had some Grade 7 story tellers tell us the story of a faithful friend.
