"Be joyful always; pray continually;
give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
1 Thessalonians
5 v 16-18
End of Year Service 2009
The school hall was packed out for the end of year service on July 13th 2009. Emmaus has more pupils than ever before, so it was more of a squeeze than ever before. The new classroom really came in to its own.
Pupils read, prayed and sang. Local Pastor Stuart Burgess gave children, parents and friends two simple but important commands from the Bible - "Give thanks in everything" (1 Thessalonians 5 v 18) and "Set your minds on things above" (Colossians 3 v 1).
Presentations were made to pupils for their performance in the Sports Day; others who had completed the Bikability course were given certificates; some were also given small gifts for achieving perfect attendance.
Naomi Burgess and Daniel Jarvis did two of the readings - they have now completed their time at Emmaus
