IN CHAPEL THIS MORNING

In the final Chapel Service of the term, Rev Susan focussed on “relationship matters” and said for each of us, relationships matter. However, our relationships can go through different stages, sometimes hitting wobbly patches, sometimes hitting particularly joyful patches, and sometimes we discover wonderful people in our lives for whom we are grateful. It is through relationships that we discover our need to be loved and to love, and Rev Sue encouraged us to keep growing in relationships and thereby growing in love. Relationships inspire music and Rev Sue showed a clip of various musical items to demonstrate this and wished the girls good luck for Interhouse Music later in the day.

GRADE 8S ENGAGE IN LIVE INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTOR OF THEIR SET WORK

Ruta is of Lithuanian extraction and lives in Nashville, Tennessee, so our 2pm lesson was a bright and early 7am for her. The girls loved it and asked lots of questions...

IN CHAPEL THIS MORNING

The topic of today’s Chapel was “Openness”. As a community, we are made up of many different people who may enjoy worshipping in ways which are different to our own. Rev Susan pointed out that this diversity brings a richness to our worship. When we worship in different ways, we break down the worshipping stereotypes we might hold. Different ways of worship appeal to us at different times in our lives and bring us into the presence of God. Rev then showed a thought-provoking clip by a Lutheran pastor, Nadia Bolz Weber, who founded a church called Home for all Sinners and Saints, in Denver Colorado (click link to view). The service closed with a group of girls singing a Sotho and Zulu worship song, illustrating the joy of being able to worship in a different language.

IN CHAPEL THIS MORNING - A VISIT FROM BISHOP DINO

This morning Bishop Dino, Head of the Anglican Church in Kwazulu Natal, and members of his chapter joined us for Chapel. Bishop Dino spoke on the importance of remaining connected to Jesus. He reminded us that the fulfilment of God’s purposes in our lives is dependent on how close we remain to Jesus as we move forward and that as we will grow in our knowledge of Jesus, we will encounter challenges. Growth is not always pleasant and sometimes, as with the vine, our lives need to be pruned so that we become more Christ-like. After chapel, Rev Susan and Mrs Taylor presented a short video to the chapter, giving them a glimpse in to the spiritual life at St Anne's. Click on link to watch:

IN CHAPEL THIS MORNING

Rev Susan’s message this morning focussed on the fact that we are all works in progress. With exam results coming out and assessments and tests all happening this week, Rev said that we often consider failure in terms of what we expect of ourselves and what others expect of us. However, failure should never define who we are. Failure can be turned into a positive in our lives as it strips away everything not essential to our existence. For example worrying about what others think of us, or what our class marks might be. As human beings, we are works in progress and God is producing final products that are wonderful.
