Hey PPN Family!

I hope you are all doing amazingly well. Hope you are all staying safe, healthy, and warm/cool (who knows with Adelaide weather). This past Saturday, we had our first Connect 4 event at Para Vista Church. We had an amazing turnout with many of our students, parents, and even some of our teachers attending ready for some fun. We shared a delicious meal together before getting into some fun interactive games. We have another Connect 4 event later this term. so keep your eyes out for more announcements in the weeks to come.

I know we are only early in the term but this term for me has felt busy already. We had our Week Of Worship for our high school at my other school, Prescott College Southern in the first week of the term which involved a lot of behind-the-scenes work. Getting back to the norm for me has been hard. A tool that I like to use when I feel overwhelmed and tired is to go to the Word. I go to the Bible for guidance. I like to find verses of encouragement and substitute my name as if God was talking directly to me in the verse.

A verse I want to share with you today comes from 1 John 4:4, and I would like you to substitute your own name in the verse and read it out loud. Here's the verse:

(Your name), you are from God and have overcome them, for He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

God is with us wherever we are, whatever we are doing, no matter what situations we may be in. We are God's children, the One who created everything in the world. So why should we be worried? Why should we feel discouraged?

I hope this serves as an encouragement for you, Prescott Family! We chaplains are here whenever you need, so feel free to reach out if you need anything.

Blessings,
Pr. Mal
