Thursday 7 th September 2017 The Journey by Paul Featherstone When we chase our aspirations, We can face the great unknown, But, there’s nothing to be scared of, As life’s experiences have shown. If we didn’t have these challenges, Then – How would we ever grow? They define and build our character, By what we learn and what we know! Thinking about the journey you are about to take, this year, in school. . . What challenges might you face?

A prayer of offering Offering the Day Lord, we come to you before we begin our day's work: we ask you to bless this day. May we find whatever is good in the tasks we are set and the time that we share. Help us when we find some things, too hard to understand; Teach us to be fair and generous with one another; So may we thank you for a day well spent. Amen.
