Who we are - Grade 9 & 10 Family Service



“God has given you a talent, why would you dishonour him by not
using it”.“Don’t let fear stop you from using the gifts God has given.
This line from the musical ‘Who we are’ sums up the message that the
students and teachers of Grade 9 & 10 wanted our church to see,
hear and understand.

The third servant in the Parable of the Three Servants (Mat 25:14-30)
hid what the master gave. We may not physically dig a hole and hide
our talents but nevertheless many of us hide them. Don’t hide your gifts, use it. If you have a gift of smiling, keep smiling, if you can encourage, do it. If you have music, let it pour out from every part of you. If you can read, share the word of God with others. If you can pray then pray. 2 Timothy 1:6 says: fan into flames the gift God has given you. Keep alive the gifts God gave – honour Him by using His gifts. Jesus is coming back, wouldn’t you want him to say “YOU good and faithful servant….come on in and share in my happiness.

In carrying out the mammoth task of putting together a musical we were prepared. However the belief that we could do it began to sway and it was only the staying power of Jesus and wonderful people who helped us stay faithful. A lot of hard work was put into this service and it is with the humblest of hearts that we would like to thank our great and loving Father who gave us the inspiration and strength to share his word. To Ite Lemalu for using his God given gift of music to help us. Without his patience and commitment to fulfill the vision we had, the success of the day would not have been possible. To Aloema Fainu’u thank you for your encouragement, your willingness and devotion to help and attend practices. Your act of kindness helped to see us through and so we are thankful to you. Thank you to all who had a hand in our service, may the love of God continue to be with you all. God Bless

Love from the teachers and students of Grade 9 & 10
