The Lord your God is in your midst......

The Lord your God is in your midst,

a mighty one who will save;

he will rejoice over you with gladness;

he will quiet you by his love;

he will exult over you with loud singing.

Zephaniah 3:17 ESV

Jonno has been away at a Curriculum Leadership Conference this week focusing on the implementation of curriculum reform in NSW and wanted to send these words of encouragement to the RCC community. God is in the midst of us; loving us, caring for us, protecting us and defending us. He is the God who sees us and longs to bring His love and peace and joy and hope to all who believe and seek Him. May we in turn seek to be a channel of His love, peace, joy and hope to a needy world. Bless your weekend.
