The Westminster School has shared a close association with our church for almost a decade now. In the first place this was through their boarders offering support to our Red Shield Appeal. They have raised around $20,000 for The Salvation Army over the years, and it looks like continuing to grow.
In more recent times they have also started to get some of their students involved in other community service activities, such as helping local primary schools for their sports times, or sending students to our Munchiez food van.
Last night I had the great privilege of speaking at their chapel service. While it's always a little interesting when you have an enforced audience (the boarders are required to attend chapel) the kids seemed genuinely interested and engaged. It was supported by great worship from the team at Edwardstown Baptist Church, too, giving us a great sense of ecumenism and purpose in bringing the gospel to the teens at the school.
Please add Patrick, the senior school chaplain at Westminster, to your prayer list. (You could meet him, too, many Mondays at our Basketball games, as his daughter is playing for our U14 Basketball team).
