Growing Together in Faith and Community

Standing Together in Prayer As a community, we are thankful for the opportunity to come before God in prayer — giving thanks for His provision and asking for His continued guidance in the life of our school. Please join us in praying for the following areas this term.

ANZAC Day & Defence Families.  

• Give thanks for the recent ANZAC Day services and the opportunity to reflect as a community.
• Praise God for the gospel-focused message shared by Navy Chaplain Todd Galvin.
• Give thanks for our Defence families and the way they serve our country.

Pray that:

• Defence families, who often experience relocation, long absences and the pressures of service life, would find support, stability and genuine community at NCS

• our school would be a place of welcome and care for these families

• they would be pointed towards Jesus as the ultimate source of hope, comfort and fulfilment

Assistant Chaplain – Mr Curran

Give thanks for the opportunity Mr Curran has to meet one-on-one with male students who are interested in exploring Christianity.

Pray that:

• as he reads the Bible with them, they would clearly understand God’s grace to us in Jesus
• he would have wisdom and clarity as he answers their questions about faith
• these young men would come to know and follow Jesus

 Assembly Talks

Pray for both our Primary & Secondary assemblies this term as students hear from God’s Word.

Pray that:

• our high school guest speaker in Week 3 would explain the gospel clearly and compellingly

Mission and Service

Give thanks for opportunities for students to serve beyond the school.
