After a sumptuous lunch and a joyful worship session led by the Truthmin worship team, the Rev Dr Norman Wong, Director, Ministry in the Schools, gave a comprehensive presentation on the work being done in all the schools.
Participants then had the opportunity to engage in dialogue with Bishop Dr Robert Solomon, with the discussion covering the issue of sharing our faith in local schools.
He shared a message based on John 6, about the little boy who was brought before Jesus with five small barley loaves and two small fish, and how the Lord Jesus blessed a crowd of 5,000 with more than enough to eat.
Drawing from the passage, the Bishop focused everyone's attention on the 22,000 children in our Methodist schools. He reminded us that every one of these lives is precious to our Lord - not only the smartest but every single child, whatever his or her strength.
May our Lord Jesus continue to bless each pupil and multiply the work that is being done in our schools today.
