We Are The Hands of Christ

We are called to be the hands and feet of Christ. Remembrance Day is a wonderful opportunity to make kindness, peacefulness, and service our focus. 

As we often do, literacy drove these topics:

We read Beautiful Hands and wondered, "How can we be kind, gentle and peaceful with our hands?". 

Painting and writing made our ideas come alive!

We spent some quiet time creating some beautiful "stained glass windows" that can be hung at home during the fall break as a reminder to pray for all peacemakers. 

We worked the small muscles in our hands and created these little masterpieces: 

Today, we gathered as a school community to pray, remember, and express gratitude for all those who have worked and are currently working for peace.

What a meaningful week. Hopefully the boys and girls are able to look at the poppies on their collars with a little more understanding and a lot more gratitude. May we all use our hands for gentleness and peace, as we are Christ's hands here on earth.
