WOW what a week!

We were blessed to have Pr Jeanine from Toowoomba as our guest speaker for ‘Week Of Worship’ (WOW) last week. 

The week was titled ‘Shipwrecked, Rescued by Jesus’.

Each morning, Foundation to Year 7 met together in the church hall.  It was an uplifting week with awesome music from our chapel band, enthusiastic singing from the students and inspiring talks and illustrations from Pr Jeanine.

She shared some personal stories from her life of how God had come to her rescue in times of need.

A ‘gasp’ was heard throughout the hall as the students observed a visual illustration about sin. A jug full of dark liquid, representing sin, turn clear when ‘Jesus’ (cup of bleach) was poured over sin.  The jug of dark liquid instantly turned clear, illustrating how when God comes into our lives, He wipes away our sins.

Each day focused on a different promise from God:

MONDAY

“The Lord will hold me close.” Psalms 27:10

TUESDAY

“Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7

WEDNESDAY

“Be still and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10

THURSDAY

“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.”  Isaiah 41:10

FRIDAY

“Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows.  But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

At the end of the week many students expressed their love for Jesus, with a number requesting Bible studies.

What a great week!
