Daily Prayer

Dear Lord, we pray for peace in our world. Not just the absence of war but good communications and trusting relationships between all nations. We pray that national leaders continue to strive for other ways to end disputes rather than war. Please help us to know what we can do to promote true peace in our world.candles-jpeg

Santa Dash

Well done to everyone who ran the Glasgow Santa Dash yesterday in aid of Beatson Cancer Care.  Six staff and twenty-one pupils met at 8.30 am and dedicated their Sunday to this amazing cause.  The CNHS runners entertained the crowd on their way round by singing Christmas Carols and even took requests – confidence and commitment.

These events are open to all pupils so – why not get involved?

Daily Prayers

God sows in the hearts of those who love him. Our preparations for Christmas often overwhelm us with occasions for waiting. We wait in line at stores. We wait in crowded bus stations, train stations, and traffic jams as we travel. We wait for Christmas bonuses, travelling relatives, online deliveries, the cookies in the oven to finish baking, and Santa. Waiting is not, however, a passive action. Waiting is an opportunity to grow in faith, hope, and love. Advent is a lesson in waiting … dynamic waiting … transformative waiting.

faith1
Father in heaven, our hearts desire the warmth of your love and our minds are searching for the light of your Word. Increase our longing for Christ our Saviour and give us the strength to grow in love, that the dawn of his coming may find us rejoicing in his presence and welcoming the light of his truth. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.

Christmas Fayre

Congratulations to everyone involved in making this year’s Christmas Fayre a great success.  This is the one fundraising event which directly benefits our pupils, and it is only possible with the support of pupils, parents, staff and our local community.

Friday Dec 2 was a non-uniform day to raise money and/or tins for the grocery stall, raffles have been ongoing for a couple of weeks and then the actual fayre took place on Saturday Dec 3 – fantastic effort from all involved.

Teaching, janitorial and office staff all worked together to ensure the stalls were set up and decorated the evening before the fayre, and, pupils, staff and members of the parent council helped out on the day.

So far we have raised over £2,000 – Well done.

Faith

Daily Prayer

 

candlesAdvent is a season of preparation. We prepare our hearts, families, and homes to celebrate the coming of the Christ Child. It’s also a season of waiting.
We wait to celebrate this joyous feast. We wait and keep watch, just like the disciples, for His return.
In the midst of this waiting, we are called to faith …to cultivate confident assurance in the One whose coming we anticipate.
We are called to hope … to look with joy for the fulfilment of the promises of God.
We are called to love … to give to others from the superabundance

Father in heaven, the day draws near when the glory of your Son will make radiant the night of the waiting world. May the darkness not blind us to the vision of wisdom which fills the minds of those who find him. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord.

Amen.

Young Christian Workers

Five S5 pupils took part in Young Christian Workers training last week at the Conforti Centre.

From then they have developed a group of around 12 pupils who are keen to express their faith within the school. The group will work towards a variety of actions across the year and are keen to start with an advent project.

downloadProject One will support the North Lanarkshire Baby Bank and go alongside the work already completed by Mrs Callaghan and Mrs McGhee.  The baby bank have a Christmas event called the ‘Handbag Appeal’ and this is where you come in!

The group are looking for donations of any handbags along with any items from the list below. The bags will be filled and sent to the baby bank to support the mothers of these young children.

I hope that you agree that this is a worthwhile cause and that the items we are collecting are things we all take for granted but most mums struggle to buy.

It would be great if you could help the group in any way, any donations can be dropped off in E4 (Mrs Murray’s room).

We hope to get these handbags to the charity before Friday 16th December.
