As the days slips by and we pass the half way mark of the term, I find myself balancing all the hours of the day.  I know I am not alone in this as our students balance, school, home recreation and even work commitments each week.  So this week we offer a prayer to God for his support in these ‘busy’ times: 

Lord, I need Your wisdom regarding my time management.  

Make me a wise manager of my time, and strengthen me to make choices that honor You, that lead me closer to You, and that reflect Your love to the world.  

Teach me to be intentional with the choices I make and the activities I’m involved in.  

Make me aware of poor choices and lead me to a better way.  

Strengthen my faith in You and give me discernment about things that will cause me harm. My loyalty is to You, Lord, and to You I surrender my time.  

I am in constant need of Your wisdom and guidance in every area of my life.  

Reveal to me Your plan for this day, show me what You would have me do, and give me the courage to do it. 

 Lead me clearly as I follow You boldly. 

Amen  

Mini Vinnies Christmas Appeal 

A letter was emailed home to all families last week in regards to our annual Mini Vinnies Christmas Appeal.  Christmas is a difficult time for families within our community and this is one way we can assist St Vincent de Paul to support them.  Your generosity each year with this appeal is wonderful and we look forward to presenting numerous hampers again this year.
