What's On
Vol Vol #6 #3 May Feb 2022 2022
in SPH Lippo Village Dear Parents and Friends, Wednesday, 25 May, it was our joy to say ‘Farewell’ to the Class of 2022! The afternoon started with thunder and lightning; our plans for an outdoor ceremony didn’t look promising. God was gracious and when we started at 4:30 the rain was gone, and a cooling breeze followed as we said goodbye and celebrated as a school family. The back-up plan in Gym 1 wasn’t needed.
Matthew 6:25-34 tells of God’s loving care for us and for His creation. When we are anxious and try to control what is ultimately in God’s hands, our focus is diverted from the One who cares for us and turns inward. His promise is, “Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” He will take care of us, not because we deserve or earn it, but because He loves us and cares for us.
Over the past two years we’ve implemented several ‘back-up’ plans as we navigated the global pandemic. Throughout this time, we witnessed God’s faithfulness and provision. His plans were not always what we prayed for, however, we trusted that His plans were for our good. The class of 2022 and our school community have learned a lot about flexibility, perseverance, and dealing with adversity. It will be interesting to see how these lessons will be used in the years to come.
While we could have celebrated our ‘farewell’ inside in gym 1, it was a blessing to enjoy the beautiful setting of the Clock Tower lawn. God’s care, love, and mercies are demonstrated in many ways as we pursue Him and put Him first in our lives. Because He is faithful, Gregg Thompson Head of School SPH Lippo Village
