What do we do when God's got it wrong. When the Bible says the world should be full of love, but this isn't what we see. What do we do?

The readings were Genesis 32:22-29, 2 Timothy 3:14-4:5 and Luke 18:1-8
Apologies for the poor quality, having chapel in the gym makes things echo.

Wrestling With God

Over his 28 years at Scots Mr Ancheril has been a great supporter of chapel and the College's Special Character. Before his retirement it seems fitting that we ask him to share some words of wisdom with us.

The readings were 1 John 3:1-3 and Luke 18:9-14

Apologies for the echoy sound, chapel was once again in the gym.

Words of Wisdom from Mr Ancheril

Mr Field-Dodgson has been a great supporter of Scots College and in particular chapel and our College's Special Character.
Before his retirement it is great to have him share some special words and thoughts.
Thanks for everything RFD.

Parihaka

What do we do when we return to school following an earthquake? 
Just like normal we focus on resilience and supporting one another. The routine of chapel meant that our day started with something familiar.

Apologies for the sound quality, it was a stormy day and the rain on the roof of the gym was unavoidable.

The readings were Hebrews 6:16-20 and 10:23-25

Following an Earthquake

After a week of storms and quakes how do be build resilience? 
Mr Carr reflects on what we can hold on to and practice so we are prepared for earthquake, storm or any of life’s disasters. 
Those things are wisdom, love and doing what is right.

The readings were Song of Solomon 2:8-13, James 1:17-18 and Mark 7:14-15

So small and yet so loved

Here are the reflections from our annual Advent Service. 

The service was based around the five candles of advent:
Hope (Rev Stuart Simpson), 
Peace (Mr Jackson), 
Joy (Carlie Carson and his mum Libby) 
and Love (Matthew Harford).

Mr Carr then brought it all together reflecting on the gift of Christ and the Christ candle.
