welcome
‘You know that many runners enter a race, and only one of them wins the prize. So run to win! Athletes work hard to win a crown that cannot last, but we do it for a crown that will last forever.’ 1 Corinthians 9:24–25
From time to time we get to hear the public acknowledgements of those who have taught SRE and RI for 10, 20, 30 years and even more. It may be that you are one of those champions! For all the preparation, sweat and sacrifice our Olympic athletes put in to compete in Paris, not a single one has dedicated 30 years to it!
Our crown, our reward, is eternal. And we desire so strongly for the students in our care to grasp the Bible’s teaching about that eternal reward too. So we pray and persevere. Be encouraged and be assured. God is doing his good work through your faithfulness and love and he will not allow his word to return without doing everything he has provided it to do.
Thank you for your love and commitment to SRE and RI. May God bless your lessons so that they are a time of great joy and encouragement for you and your students.
Have a wonderful 2025!

Big Questions is a one-year program offered as an alternative to Connect in the final year of primary. It is designed to engage with the big questions students are asking such as ‘What is God really like?’, ‘What’s gone wrong with the world?’, ‘Does God really care about me?’ and ‘What’s the purpose of my life?’.
The Teacher’s manual provides clear aims and outcomes, easy-to-follow lesson plans and extension ideas. Additional material—such as PowerPoints for each lesson, songs and ideas for introductory activities—is available for free download from cepconnect.com.au

What would it have been like to hang out with Jesus? Top bloke? Religious nut? Or something else entirely?

Why it is that Jesus’ followers are so often not like him? And how can they fail to obey his commands?
