The St. Timothy's Walk-a-thon is back!

When: Thursday 16th June

Where: School Grounds.

Time: 12 midday -1:15

Followed by a special lunch. 

We are asking children to seek sponsors (parents, grandparents, siblings, aunties, uncles, neighbours and special friends) to request donations for participating in  a walkathon around the school grounds from 12 midday -1:15 on Thursday  June 16th followed by a special lunch. 

The children can walk, run, skip, hop, jump  around the school grounds.

Any parent available to help with lunch would be appreciated.

We are hoping that the money raised will go towards buying new technology to replace existing equipment that has been in high demand over past two years so in need of updating.

Sponsor forms will be sent next week,

Congratulations to all our children after weeks of preparation who competed in Cross Country this week. Special congratulations to Harry ( 3rd ) & William (8th) who will go on to race on Monday. Good luck boys!

Saturday 28th May  and Sunday 29th MayThe author of the gospel of Luke is also recognised as the author of the Acts of the Apostles. The works are regarded as originally being intended as a two volume single work sometimes referred to as Luke-Acts. Their separation occurred in the development of the canon of the Bible. In today’s gospel and first reading we get the very end of the first volume and the very beginning of the second volume of the Luke-Acts work – the very point of intersection between the two books. The gospel of Luke is the only one of the four canonical gospels that describes the Ascension of Jesus and, to reiterate it, the writer begins with the same event at the beginning of Acts.

If we regard the two volumes of Luke-Acts as a single work, we see the events as all part of the one story. The life and ministry of Jesus is only the first half of the story. The story continues through the Book of Acts as the disciples and believers enter into a new way of witnessing to the

ministry of Jesus – attempting to take on that ministry themselves and spread the message even further than Jesus was able to do in his life. Seen in this light, the gospel account of Jesus’ ministryestablishes a model and a pattern for the ministry that the followers of Jesus seek to emulate in their own lives after his Ascension. The Ascension is the pivotal event between the two volumes but it was also the pivotal event in the ministry of Jesus. The Ascension, and the subsequent events of Pentecost, was essential for the shift in emphasis from the ministry being carried on by Jesus to the same ministry carried on by millions of people throughout time.
