This week, we revisited how we are feeling about navigating our way to the next chapter of education, whether that be to a new school for our year 6 pupils or to a new class, for all of our other children. We thought about where else Christians might find support and comfort regarding new challenges and the children identified the Bible as a source. Recently, we learned about St Paul the Apostle and how, despite the adversity that he faced, he had written a very large part of the New Testament. We were able to find the following words of support and guidance that Christians may turn to.
In Philippians 3:13 – 14, Paul writes:
“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus”.
