Wonderful Christ

We looked ahead in worship this week to the 2nd Sunday in Lent (Year B) where we heard the remarkable account of the transfiguration.  Jesus takes three of the apostles up a high mountain and there, in front of their eyes, he is transformed.  His clothes gleam as white as light and the prophets Moses and Elijah are seen standing with him.  Peter is astounded, saying, "It is wonderful to be here!"

In the busy-ness of our everyday school lives, it is very easy to miss or overlook the astounding moments that take place: the "light-bulb" moment when we understand something for the first time, the joy of sharing healthy fun with friends, the exhilaration of trying something new or different on a school trip or at a club.  We have hoped to open the children's eyes this week to the many wonderful moments that can be seen and celebrated each day in school - it should be wonderful to be here too!
