Primary Chapel
On Friday 14 February, our Primary school gathered for Chapel. These events provide opportunities for students to experience Christian worship in the Anglican tradition, which includes gathering as a community, hearing from God’s word as we learn from Jesus and celebrating the life and good in our school through prayer. Our student leaders, Rosie Grant and James Cox led their peers well. There was wonderful singing with lots of actions and growing in confidence with our school hymn Praise to the Lord led masterfully by Mr Hearn.
Coming together highlights what is important to us at Moama Anglican Grammar and reforms our hearts to love what is good, which in this case was being thankful and prayerful for the new school year!
Friends of Faith
After a successful launch last year our ‘Friends of Faith’ will meet again this year to pray for our school. Through the initiative of 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 where students will meet to guide you to our meeting place. Here are the dates for Semester 1:

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. While confirmation is not strictly speaking a sacrament in the Anglican tradition, it is still required to be a fully communicant member of the Anglican Church. 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.
If you are a new family to our school, or you have been connected for some time you are welcome at Christ Church at any time. We would hope our school community views the place as your church home. We worship on Sundays at 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM.
Regards,
Rev. Tim Bowles
