Principal's message

The Ascension

Mark 16:15-20

Jesus said,"Go throughout the whole world and preach the gospel. 

Whoever is baptised will be saved and they will be given the power  to perform miracles." After. he said this , Jesus was taken up into heaven. 

The disciples preached everywhere, the Lord worked with them and miracles were performed.

This was Jesus' last bodily appearance before he was taken  up to heaven, he gave the disciples an important message. 

Go make disciples! He called everyone to be  missionaries, to share his message of love with others.
