THEME: GROWTH 

Thought for the Week

“Whatever makes you uncomfortable is your biggest opportunity for growth.” ~ Bryant H McGill

 

From Scripture:

‘So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. Continue to live in him.’  Colossians 2:6-7 – Growth Is a process
“I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who live in me while I live in them will produce a lot of fruit. But you cannot produce anything without me .’ – John 15: 5 – Gods Promises on Growth

 

A Prayer:

Dear Lord, we thank you for all you’ve done for us. We pray that you will guide our hearts, and help us to grow into the person you want us to be. In your name we pray. Amen.

We acknowledge all our Muslim boys and families as they celebrate Eid Mubarak

There was also the opportunity to collaborate with the PBHS Jazz Band which resulted in a standing ovation by the very appreciative and large audience.
