Faith

Faith Series—The Sower

Welcome to our new school year! What a blessing it is to begin a new school year and this year we begin
a new three year theme entitled “Sowing Seeds of Justice.” Over the next three years, it is our hope that all of our students and staff will gain a better sense of what justice is and how to model justice in our daily lives.

Each of the three year themes will have a specific focus and our first years’ theme will focus on “The Sower”. The image of The Sower is that of Jesus himself and is taken from the parable of The Sower, particularly found in the gospel of Mark (Mk.4 1-20). In this parable, The Sower is one who wants to sow and share the seeds, one who wants to be generous, one who keeps faithful with unwavering hope and confidence in spite of unfavorable conditions and possible difficulties.

Our hope is that as we journey to learn and discover more about The Sower is that we too may become the Sower in our daily circumstance, whether it is in the classroom, hallway, on the school bus or in the office. May God richly bless our desire this year to become Sowers in our schools, homes, towns and cities and indeed, the whole kingdom of God.
