Integrity in Christ 

In Celebration of the Word this week, we focused on the Gospel Value of integrity.   We heard the parable of the dishonest manager, who abused the freedom he was given and, after showing dishonesty in small matters, went on to make even bigger mistakes!  Jesus helps us to understand that being honest and truthful in small matters is important because it builds us up to be honest and truthful in more important matters.

Children this week have been reflecting on the value of integrity and describing to us the different ways they are trusted in school: to use stationery wisely and sparingly, to walk quietly up and down corridors and stairwells, to be safe and sensible when visiting the toilets.  All of these small freedoms must be treated with integrity in order to trust each other with bigger responsibilities.
