WE WELCOME THE CANDLE

Page 6: Welcome Burning brightly Carrying the Light of Christ in Church Schools.

Jesus Christ is the light of the world

A light no darkness can put out.

Page 7: Welcome Burning brightly Carrying the Light of Christ in Church Schools.

Parents, carers, staff and friends this candle has come from N Church School, and will go onto N Church School.

By November 2011 all Church Schools in the Diocese will have seen this candle And reflected on what it means.

Page 8: Welcome Burning brightly Carrying the Light of Christ in Church Schools.

200 years ago the National Society had a dream that all children, no matter how poor, should have a chance to receive a Christian education.

Page 9: Welcome Burning brightly Carrying the Light of Christ in Church Schools.

Their hope was that the light of learning would help them to shine in the world. This hope comes from the promise of God who sent Jesus to be the Light of the World.

This light takes away fear and lights the way ahead.

Page 10: Welcome Burning brightly Carrying the Light of Christ in Church Schools.

As we look at this Candle we give thanks for the dream of the National Society and our hope in Jesus.

We pray that as inheritors of this dream and hope we too may be lights in God’s world.
