I remember where I was when the news about Princess Diana came through, I was watching the news live when the second plane hit the twin towers – (just having finished watching The West Wing – so surreal)…and those two moments in recent history are reference points for me – and for so many others.
And now our current unprecedented experience is one we have all shared in – as a global community – and the lives of everyone have been impacted in some way or another. Shared memories are one way that relationships can form and we can move from being acquaintances to being friends…I wonder what shape of things God will draw out of this time…..
It would be wonderful to have an art work made up of the love and care being shown….the extraordinary acts of bravery, the sacrificial service, the generosity towards strangers, the connectedness in families…What a stunning canvas that would be!

In deeply challenging times such as these, we find our rest in the unchanging nature and faithfulness of our Heavenly Father.
As a Christian community we understand the significance and purpose of prayer. It is the heart-beat of our College. Together we boldly pray to our Father, through the work of His Son, in the power of the Spirit.
