Scripture “Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.” - Jeremiah 32:17

Does god exist? Have you ever looked up at the stars?and been struck by the vastness?

The universe is massive The universe is massive. There are solar systems, stars, and galaxies far beyond our wildest imagination. The universe is bigger than we could ever comprehend – and so is our God. Yet, in the midst of such complex systems and the vast expanses of stars, God has created our world and He has created us. God created man with great care and great love. Man was created by God and for God and will only know true happiness in God. We can come to know that God exists in many different ways: through seeing order and design in the created world, through our own human reason, through our instinctual understanding of right and wrong, and through a desire for happiness and something greater than ourselves.

We pray our school prayer together: Dear Father in heaven, Thank you for the gift of life you have given us. Thank you for the people you have made us to be. Help us to live our lives to the full. Open our hearts to receive your love so that we, in return, can show love and respect to everyone in our school community, our families and our friends. Send us your Holy Spirit so we can achieve excellence in our learning and do our personal best in all areas of school life. May we always live, love and learn through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
