Christ who ascended into heaven in his body carries on what he began on earth through his new body, the church. He teaches through its apostles and evangelists. He ministers through its prophets and pastors. In and through the church, Jesus continues to heal and to comfort; to forgive and to include. We have not been left alone; we have his power, the same power with which he performed marvels when he walked the earth. We have not been left alone; we have each other. Together we make up the new body of Christ. Together we await the fullness of this body. It is this new body that stands in between the times, secure in what we have, confident of what we will be given.

Dear Families,
We look forward to welcoming all our children back next week.
As today I have attached a detailed note about returning to school and school fees, I will keep this section brief.
As mentioned previously I will be participating in the Vinnies Sleepout. This year the sleepout is to take place at our homes, so I will be sleeping out in my yard. Monies raised from this event goes to help local people in need. If you would like to help please visit this link to sponsor me https://www.ceosleepout.org.au/sponsor?kw=shayne+kidd
The Sleepout is Thursday June 18.
Have a great week and keep safe.
God Bless,
Shayne Kidd
National Simultaneous Storytime
STM will be participating in the National Simultaneous Storytime on Wednesday 27th May at 11.00am. NSS is celebrated annually by the Australian Library and Information Association and aims to promote reading, children’s literacy and Australian authors and publishers. Every year a picture book, selected by ALIA is read simultaneously in schools, libraries, pre-schools, bookshops and homes.
This year’s title is Whitney and Britney: Chicken Divas by Lucinda Gifford. We will be watching a digital presentation of the story on Story Box Library in our classrooms, read by Emma Watkins from the Wiggles. You may like to join us remotely by watching at home using Story Box Library or watch Denise Scott read the story on Play School at 11.00 am on ABC Kids or ABC Kids iview.
Story Box Library has also included two craft activities that you can do at home. Please follow the link below.
