1 EDITION 06 15 FEBRUARY 2019 Thomas More College [email protected] www.thomasmore.co.za GENERAL INFORMATION WEEKLY SCRIPTURE Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” Loving Father, how we long to be more child-like in our attitude and actions, with the sort of faith that trusts You like a child and whose heart that is ever open towards You. Teach us Lord to live in purity of heart and gentleness of spirit so that Jesus may be reflected through us to those with whom we come in contact today, in His name we pray, AMEN. Mums Who Pray We would like to encourage our TMC Mums to join the ‘Mums Who Pray’ every Thursday at 7.30am in the Great House Indaba Room ~ All are welcome. Tea/Coffee provided. The mums are diverse, approachable, and an always willing to help group of ladies. Join them as they pray for our children, parents, teachers, school and country. Contact Laura O’Loughlin on 079 3317672 for more info. Open Days Our Open Days were a resounding success, thank you to those families who could make it to the HS Open Day on Thursday.
