ECS Update Term 2, Week 4 – Friday 23rd May 2025

Kia ora Parents and Caregivers,

As Psalm 100 reminds us we are to:

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.   Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

As we get closer to half way through a term that is going very very quickly we have a lot to be thankful for.  The promise of God’s faithfulness enduring forever is very real and we get to see the relaity of this throughout our week.

Blessings,
Ngā mihi nui,
ECS Team
