Through the Gospels we are trying to find deeper meaning in our theme To be Known and Loved. In our Term 2 Assembly on Thursday morning, the student leaders shared John's Gospel The Woman at the Well. This Gospel tells us of a time when Jesus met with a woman as she collected water from a well. The woman was from Samaria - a region between Jerusalem in the south and Galilee in the north.  Conflict and hostility between Samaritans and Jews was common. Each thought the other had betrayed their faith, breaking the rules which bound them to God. This alone should have kept the woman and Jesus apart - but it did not. 

It is through engaging with the other that the women at the well grows in faith. 

Students then lead a prayer which challenged all students to move outside their comfort zone and engage with new people and grow through that experience.

Lord, help us to connect with those around us. Make us attentive to those we do not know well and open to sharing our lives with them. Help us to honour our diversity. In finding our differences we learn more about ourselves and about you, our Creator. Amen.
