We continue to take a look at
the school theme for the year, Colossians 3:12-14. For the first month we focussed on compassion
and that relates well to the second attribute of kindness. We know that even as we look at each aspect
individually it remains part of the whole.
It is a complete set of clothes that are visible not just one or two
items. With compassion there is a deep
desire to alleviate the suffering we see as a result of living in a broken
world. With kindness we move to a hope
for the welfare of others, those who are suffering and those who are not. We are preparing our students for a life of
Christian service; a life that is marked with compassion and kindness. For our students to be transformed by this we
need to provide opportunities for them to live out compassion and kindness at
the school. Each day provides them with
the chance to do this in the classroom, on the playground, in the hallways and
on the bus. As we look beyond these
walls the students are called to participate in a food drive to exhibit the
compassion and kindness that has been shown to them through Christ. Please
allow and encourage your sons and daughters to experience the call to serve
others through the food drive and in the school. ~Mr. Bouwers
