Chaplaincy "Esther was humble and gained favour in the sight of all who saw her." Esther 2:15 The theme of humility, of giving God the glory for our successes and acknowledging the gifts and talents he has given us, has been a great one to explore this week. Remaining humble in a society that often encourages boasting has been an interesting conversation starter with the students and looking at the example of Esther who remained humble despite being married to the boastful King Xeres has been very helpful. It is an important topic and one I hope will stay in our minds in the days ahead. Giving thanks for: Successful recruitment of new staff Our wonderful associate staff and all the hard work they do Praying for: The consultation around the possible expansion of the school Safe, exciting and informative trips over this term Many thanks and God bless, Alice
