Many thanks to the children, staff, parents and friends who made our Athletics sports such a successful event. Thanks to all the helping hands for organising and cooking the BBQ to feed the hungry crowd. The generosity of time and donations were greatly appreciated. It was so fantastic to see all our parents joining in with the activities. I know the children especially enjoyed this and will remember for years to come. We really do have such a wonderful community!

Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd April

The Passion narrative, as described in the gospel of Matthew, is keen to drive home two particular points. Firstly, throughout this gospel, the gospel writer is at pains to demonstrate Jesus as fulfilling the prophecy of scripture. At the time of the arrest and the use of the thirty pieces of silver, we are reminded that these things took place to fulfil scripture. Secondly, this particular gospel emphasises the innocence of Jesus throughout the passion narrative: he is ‘sold out’ by one of his followers; his trial before the Sanhedrin is a farce; his most loyal follower denies association with him; Pilate declares himself innocent of Jesus’ blood and the crowd accepts the consequences of their actions. At no point is any hint of guilt cast over Jesus. He is an innocent whose fate has been manipulated by others. In this gospel there is no conversation between Jesus and the criminals between whom he is crucified. There is no suggestion that Jesus too is a criminal who is deserving of his fate. His innocence is manifest. These two themes merge together in this gospel. The manner of Jesus’ arrest, trial and death are all in accordance with the prophecy of scripture (i.e. in accordance with God’s will), and yet it is emphasised throughout that Jesus is innocent. There can be no accusation that Jesus is in any way deserving of his treatment and yet what befalls him is in keeping with God’s plan. It emphasises the sacrificial act made by Jesus: a proven innocent giving his life for the good of others. The actions of those who plot against Jesus to seek his downfall actually serve to bringabout his purpose. No other outcome was possible. The writer assures the audience that the death of

Jesus was no accident; it was intended from the very beginning.

It's a perfect summery night out — the big screen under the stars, ice cream in hand, just around the corner in your neighbourhood park. And it's free!

Whitehorse Moonlight Movies is pleased to kick off the April school holidays with an outdoor movie. Tote your bean bag, your picnic blanket or your low-rider chairs — no glass, please — and settle in for some open-air cinema (we'll have ice cream and coffee trucks waiting!).
