Making Jesus Real
We continue to promote MJR (Making Jesus Real) at Trinity. Every day teachers and students are highlighting the qualities of a good friend and the importance of displaying fairness and respect to others. MJR has a simple message – Jesus is part of our lives and can change the way we live; that we can make Jesus real through our daily actions and words.
An important aspect of MJR is learning how to recognise God Moments in an encounter with a friend, a cheerful greeting, a smile, a wink of encouragement, an offer of a helping hand or an unexpected compliment. MJR leads us to be ‘winners and grinners’ rather than ‘moaners and groaners’, to look for positives in each day, and to make sure we let others know how much we appreciate them in our lives, and how to pass on the Good News each day.
We call Making Jesus Real a programme but it is really just a Christian way of life. We live our daily lives and the best results occur when we take the opportunity to stop and reflect each day for 60 seconds and ask, “Where was Jesus in my life today?
Family Mass
Last Sunday we celebrated our first Family Mass for this term at St. Anthony’s Church. This was a beautiful opportunity for our Trinity families and Parish to come together in worship and prayer for the new term and to welcome father Lolesio. Many thanks to the great number of children who conducted the ministries and singing. We are very thankful for your dedication and support of our school and Parish.
Parish Notices – PARISH DAY – 3rd November.
This Sunday is St. Anthony’s Parish Day. Mass will be held at St. Anthony’s Church at 9am and will be followed by morning tea and the drawing of the 150 Club. Many thanks to all those who bought a ticket in support of our Parish. Funds raised assist with the upkeep of our beautiful church. Please bring a plate to share for morning tea. We look forward to seeing as many families and friends at church this weekend in support of our Parish.
Prayer for Rain
Please, loving God, bring us rain
to renew the ground, to replenish our dams,
to bring some chance of feed,
to bring the possibility of some reward
to those who have toiled so hard.
We turn to you in faith and hope.
We pray for our community
We pray for all those whose lives
are under the shadow of drought.
We think of those who work with the land,
for farmers and their families,
for those who rely upon the land for their life and relationships
Give them not just a sense of renewal,
but a sense of hope and purpose for lives
that are finding the journey hard.
Thought of the Week
Wishing everyone a wonderful week.
God bless,
Donna Wade
