This year Thomas Hassall College hosted a Prayer Brunch in the MRK for Year 12 and their teachers. It was well attended with 147 students present and it was great!
The morning began with the noise of students laughing and talking. What a noise it was as 147 caught up with each other. The students were then given a great brunch – many thanks to Hanan and her crew as no one left hungry.
Following the meal, Rev. Oliver gave a devotion on 1 Tim 4:12
Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
Mr Whelan and Sreya Diddee from Year 12 then gave encouraging messages. While Mr Whelan focused on the journey forward, Sreya reflected on the journey travelled – It was a good time to reflect and reset. The event closed with some students praying for the specific needs of their year.
This event was a great opportunity for the students to gather to express the community they sorely missed during lockdown. The brunch was also a time to place the hopes and fear of our current Year 12 at the foot of God’s throne.
Please join the staff as we pray for our Year 12 students, not simply that they do well in their exams but that they find their place in our society.
