As we begin the Season of Lent this week and as our Church works to restore trust and reconcile past wrongs we pray for hope;  hope that we have the courage to speak up for what we believe and protect those who are unable to protect themselves.  We work together with hope for a better future for our children: 

Heavenly father, I am your humble servant, 
I come before you today in need of hope. 
There are times when I feel helpless, 
There are times when I feel weak. 
I pray for hope. 
I need hope for a better future. 
I need hope for a better life. 
I need hope for love and kindness. 
Some say that the sky is at its 
darkest just before the light. 
I pray that this is true, for all seems dark. 
I need your light, Lord, in every way. 
I pray to be filled with your light from 
head to toe. To bask in your glory. 
To know that all is right in the world, 
as you have planned, and as you want 
it to be.  
Help me to walk in your light, and live 
my life in faith and glory. 
In your name I pray,

Amen. 

 LYF @ OLSCC – Re-Creation 

On Friday afternoons in lesson 4, 80 minutes has been allocated to Re-Creation.  Re-Creation allows students an opportunity to energise their spiritual potential through using their passions, gifts and talents for the betterment of our community.  There are lots of great options that give opportunities for students to take part in something they enjoy and that grows either their ability or their creativity.  This term the options are Netball skills, walking, girls Rugby skills, boys Rugby League skills, photography and animation skills, indoor games, musical theatre skills, gardening and drawing and art.
