As followers of Jesus, we are called to be His hands and feet, bringing kindness, gentleness, and peace into the world.
We shared the story Beautiful Hands and reflected on the question, “How can we use our hands to show kindness, gentleness, and peace?”
Then we created meaningful poppy art. The small muscles in our hands worked hard as we rolled and dipped tissue paper to bring our poppies to life.
Through our creativity we expressed gratitude and peace, remembering that we are called to be the hands of Christ.
Today, our school gathered as a community to pray, to remember, and to give thanks for all who have worked and continue to work for peace.
I hope that when the children look at the poppies pinned to their collars, they do so with deeper understanding and heartfelt gratitude. May we all use our hands to bring gentleness and peace into our world, for we are the hands of Christ.
