Good morning year 3.

Prayer of Hope
Jane Holloway
Lord,
help us to share the hope of our hearts
with one another.
Enable us to give hope to others
through your work amongst us.
Use us to transform our nation
and to spread your hope to every corner of this nation.
May our land flourish
by the preaching of your word
and the praising of your name.
In Jesus’ name. Amen

Good morning year 3

Inspirational Quote of the Day

In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within man” – not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power – the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.

Then – in the name of democracy – let us use that power – let us all unite.”

Charlie Chaplin (The final speech from The Great Dictator)
