Today we shared some time together in praise, worship and learning at our monthly school chapel. Our school theme this year is Living Victoriously. Each month, we will look at how we can live victoriously for God. Today we learned about living victoriously without fear or worry.
Mr. K. and Mr. V. introduced us to the idea of how our fears and worries can feel like weights. Sometimes they seem heavy to carry. After putting several weighted balls in a box, they had a Grade Two student lift the box.
It was quite heavy and so they recruited some help for the student. Having someone work alongside made the load lighter to lift. However, after putting many more weights in, the 2 students needed much more help. While others helped make it a little easier to bear, our leaders reminded us that God can help us carry our load of fear and worries if we will bring them to Him. As we repeated several times throughout the chapel, God promises us over and over again that..."I will be with you."
Several Grade 7 + 8 students gave us a dramatic reading of Luke 12:25 (Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?)
After a time of song and prayer, our student body met with their GIFT groups. (Growing In Faith Together). These are cross-graded groups that meet together after chapel to discuss and re-inforce the theme of chapel.
Today our students had a picture of two hands in which they wrote some things that people might worry or fear. The hands symbolized bringing our worries to God and thereby Living Victoriously.
Thank you, Grade 7 + 8 for a challenging and inspriational message!
