Happy Father's Day

We had a lovely celebration with our dad's, grandfather's and special friends on Thurs morning. There were delicious, croissants and child-made scones to fest on along with great conversation.

We give thanks to God for all these wonderful people who have shaped and formed us, especially those in our own community. 

Here is a prayer reflection from our morning.

For the hands that held us when we were small, and the steady presence that supports us now that we are grown.

(Symbol of hands)

For their work and quiet sacrifices behind the scenes, and the safe spaces created for us to fail and grow.

(symbol of computer/ trade related object)

For the life lessons shared, and the bad jokes that bring laughter into our homes.

(Symbol: Smiley Face)

For the times they believe in us when we find it hard to believe in ourselves, they are like an anchor in stormy seas.

(symbol of anchor)

For their creativity that shows us how to imagine a world we cannot yet see.

(symbol of painting/ artwork)

For the times of working in the garden and playing sport together. 

(symbol of shovel)

For the adventures they’ve shared with us and the ones we are yet to have.  

(symbol of Map)

For the love and hugs that we get to share together. 

(symbol of heart)

All: We thank them, and we bless them.
