Letting our light shine as we live, love and learn, together with Jesus is based on an extract from the Gospel of Matthew. We aim to develop the skills and talents that God has given our children and in doing so, as they grow in grace and knowledge, they may aspire to achieve wonderful things . We LOVE because this is how God planned for us all to live in harmony.
'And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. Colossians 3:14 We RESPECT because we are all made in the image of God and we are all special. We PERSEVERE because God can use us to achieve great things.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me Philippians 4:13 We FORGIVE because forgiveness brings peace to move on with our lives. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you'. Ephesians 4:32 We TRUST because this builds relationships, allowing us to live & flourish together.
