Dear parents
5th Jan

9th Jan
Welcome back, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas holiday and
enjoyed the festivities of the New Year! Thank you for my
Christmas wishes and gifts, they were much appreciated.
.
The great thing about walking with God in
life is that there is always the opportunity
to start anew - God always offers us a new
day and a new dawn, no matter what has
gone before. At the start of the New Year,
why not take a moment to thank Him for
last year, ask His forgiveness for where you
have failed, and dedicate this New Year to
Him - to serve Him and love Him afresh.
