On Wednesday mornings

Every Wednesday of term, all students at SMBC gather for Principal's Hour. Announcements will be made, students will be interviewed, we will sing songs to and about God, pray and a sermon will be preached.

I sit at the foyer of the hall where the sound is piped through, so the foyer doubles up as a 'cry room' for mums with babes and toddlers. Charis will be with me, drawing, looking at books, cutting and pasting, eating, doing quiet activities so that I can listen to the sermon. It's an avenue for me to train Charis to do things quietly by herself so that I can 'listen to the bible'. Being the bubbly, chatty, curious and active child as she is, she really needs the training. At times she does well, most times when she meets another kid at the foyer, the training becomes doubly hard.

Roger and I were very encouraged by last week's sermon during Principal's Hour. We commend it to you and hope you will also be encouraged by God's word. You can download/stream it here. It is by Stuart Coulton, titled 'Humanness and temptation', 29th July 09.
