We (are) encouraged to hold fast to the hope that lies before us. This we have as an anchor of the soul, sure and firm.' 

Hebrew 16:9

The theme for the 2021-2022 school year, which will be infused in all that we do, is “Anchored in Christ.” This comes from the quote you read at the top of your prayer service from the letter to the Hebrews: “We (are) encouraged to hold fast to the hope that lies before us. This we have as an anchor of the soul, sure and firm.”

In this new school year, we will face many demands, changes, challenges, and opportunities for reward. But, as Matthew’s account of Jesus’ ascension reminds us that Christ will be with us as we meet all this year will bring. No matter how much things may change or challenge us, Jesus, our anchor, will keep us grounded so that we can go about confidently working to spread the Good News.
