Start of Term Prayer
I pray for success and achievement in this new school term.
Grant me the wisdom to set clear goals,
the patience to persevere through the challenges,
and the strength to overcome obstacles.
Let Your divine light shine up on my academic journey,
illuminating the way to knowledge and understanding.
Help me make the most of this opportunity to learn and grow,
and may my efforts bear fruit in the form of success and accomplishments.
Amen

We have been cooking and preparing all of the menu items this week, we are all stocked and ready for a busy term.
We will be having an across the menu price rise shortly. Most of our menu prices have not increased for some time. This will enable us to keep up with the cost of produce we use to make our healthy and tasty recess and lunch items.
The focaccias are very popular and our most ordered item. These are a “green” healthy item and a great addition to our menu. Just a little reminder that the focaccia and sushi orders cannot be changed as those items are made up and delivered fresh to us.

PARISH YOUTH MINISTRY NEWS
TUESDAY 14TH OCTOBER
Last week at 24:7 Greenwood, we enjoyed an exciting Games and Arts Night filled with creativity, energy, and laughter. The evening began with some light-hearted fun as everyone gathered around for board games and card games, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. We then moved into our main games for the night, starting with a lively round of of games that brought plenty of energy and excitement, followed by another strategic and entertaining game.
After the games, we shifted gears into our Arts activity, where the youth worked together to help complete the decorations for the upcoming Parish Feast celebrations. It was wonderful to see everyone’s creativity and teamwork come to life. For those who preferred something different, the Nintendo setup provided a fun alternative, adding to the variety of activities available throughout the evening.
NEXT YOUTH GROUP
Next week, we will be launching our new term theme, Testimonies. We are excited to welcome our guest speaker, Paul Massad, who will be sharing his personal testimony and faith journey with us. It promises to be an inspiring start to the term, and we look forward to another great night together.
God bless,
Jesse and Lucy
