APRIL UPDATE

It is tempting to write in an April newsletter about just how fast the year is going, how Easter is almost upon us and the first term of the year is done! In fact I would make a strong prediction that you have received a newsletter from your child's primary school that includes one of those statements.

So instead here is Psalm 9:9 from the Message Bible!

God's a safe-house for the battered, a sanctuary during bad times. The moment you arrive, you relax; you're never sorry you knocked.

Easter is a great season in the life of Hillsong Church, so many visitors and of course we get to hang out at the Sydney Entertainment Centre with our whole Church. I am believing that our kids will be impacted with the Gospel message like never before!

I wrote a blog post for our official Hillsong Blog 'Collected' last month. It has got some great comments and I believe is an important big picture view of how we can help our children become spiritual champions. Would love you to read it here: Don't Outsource What Only You Can Do.

God Bless
