All of us at PACE hope that you had a lovely restful Christmas and New Year.
We are all very excited to be entering 2025 with a busy diary and feel very blessed to have so many open doors at our local schools.
Please remember us in your prayers. Here are some updates for what we will be doing shortly which will help you with specific prayers.
Coming up in January;
We have just finished off our Christmas in a box lessons with the last three being at Vale Primary School last week – this Christmas we delivered this to 11 schools which is amazing and a great achievement to thank God for!
We will be teaching our Jesus lesson at Blanchelande College – “Was He Mad, Bad or God?” to Year 7’s , looking at the evidence for Jesus’ life and teachings.
We will be starting our NT Mini five week course at Blanchelande and would value your prayers as we step out into this course that is new to us.
We are currently preparing our primary school assembly for this term, so we are looking at what Bible story to share, how we are going to do that, and preparing and praying over that as we start these assemblies this month.
We have some church visits coming up which is very exciting. We will be visiting St Peters and Eldad in the next few weeks.
We will be starting our ASDAN course at Le Murier. ASDAN is a qualification that the students can achieve through different modules. This helps each student to live as independently as possible and helps them gain skills that they will need for employment. PACE assists in the module for the students to prepare and deliver a spiritually based assembly.
Finally at the end of the month, we will be holding a Prayer Spaces day at Melrose, please pray for our preparations for this and that all involved are blessed.
Thank you for your prayers and support.
Sarah began the term with a study week conference at Lee Abbey in Devon with SWYM. The theme of the week was Ambassadors, looking at the verses 2 Corinthians 5:20-6:2:
“We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. For he says,“In the time of my favor I heard you,
and in the day of salvation I helped you.”I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.”
Sarah enjoyed her week in the beautiful surroundings of Lee Abbey, learning and growing alongside her fellow SWYM trainees. The first year of her degree is going well with many exciting opportunities ahead with study and working at PACE. Please continue to pray for SWYM in Guernsey and the partnership between PACE and SWYM.
