This Friday our Secondary School joins together at St Paul’s Cathedral for our annual Cathedral Service. All members of our community who are able are welcome to join us. The service begins at 10am.
This year our theme is ‘Blessings’ and the focus Bible text is The Parable of the Good Samaritan from the Gospel of Luke. Ellie Robson, one of our Year 11 students has designed this amazing cover for the service booklet. In it she has intentionally made it ambiguous as to whether the hands are giving or receiving the blessings, as in life we are both receivers and givers. Also, interestingly the ‘biggest gift’ of the image is not money, but instead our time, alongside mercy and peace. Just like in the parable, it was the Samaritan who gave his time when all the others were ‘too busy’.
This theme and Bible reading ties beautifully with our School motto, ‘Deeds not words’.
In addition to this we are privileged to also have as our guest preacher, the Reverend Tim Costello, AO, who is a Baptist minister and amongst many other things, also was the CE of World Vision for 13 years. His wealth of wisdom and perspective around social justice will be great to hear.
Please join us if you are able.
