Chaplain's Chat

What does it mean to be an Anglican school?

Doing Lent Generously

Welcome to the third week of Lent. We are encouraging our students to do Lent generously by spreading the love of Jesus through 40 days of intentional generosity this year. Through these simple acts of kindness, from a ‘smile’ to ‘inviting someone to sit with you at lunch,’ students are making a difference in the lives of people around them.

You can join in with this at home through the following resources:

Primary Chapel

On Friday 14 March, our Primary school gathered for Chapel. We continued with our theme of doing generosity and connected it with International Women’s Day. Our Bible reading focussed on Ruth and Naomi as women we can all learn from who remind us of God’s welcoming all who come in faith, looking after those in need and joining in partnership with God for his mission in the world. 

Coming together highlights what is important to us at Moama Anglican Grammar and reforms our hearts to love what is good, such as living generously with all that we are.

Friends of Faith

Our ‘Friends of Faith’ will meet again this year to pray for our school. Through the initiative of a school parent, Lyndall Johnson, this group aims to bless our school through prayer and we extend an open invitation to whoever would like to join with us. Our meeting time is 8:30 am with parents and community supporters signing in at Reception.

Confirmation Classes

Confirmation Classes – Our local parish will be running Confirmation classes later this year. In confirmation, the candidate confirms the promises made (usually on their behalf when they were an infant) at their baptism. Preparation for confirmation usually involves instruction by the parish priest, and confirmation is carried out by the bishop and usually within the context of a Sunday service. Please email Rev. Tim Bowles tbowles@moamagrammar.nsw.edu.au if you would like further information.

Regards,

Rev. Tim Bowles
