Preparing the next generation

It is a real joy to have Tim Watson, the new headmaster at Northern Beaches Christian School, to be sharing with us in the Word this morning. We pray God’s blessing upon Tim and his family and upon his ministry of leadership at the school. PSALM 78 1 My people, hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth.  2 I will open my mouth with a parable; I will utter hidden things, things from of old—  3 things we have heard and known,  things our ancestors have told us. 4 We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,  his power, and the wonders he has done.  5 He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel,  which he commanded our ancestors  to teach their children,  6 so the next generation would know them,  even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children.  7 Then they would put their trust in God  and would not forget his deeds  but would keep his commands. A FESTIVAL OF CAROLS This year NBCS will be celebrating Christmas through “A Festival of Carols”. This event, being held on the evening of Monday 25 November, will feature a mixture of Bible readings and popular carols accompanied by our combined bands and choirs.
