Leadership Development
Earlier this week our Primary leaders attended the GRIP Leadership Conference.
The GRIP Student Leadership Conference was a wonderful opportunity for our Primary Student Leaders to grow in their understanding of what it means to be a proactive leader in their school. Students engaged in fun activities, were challenged in their thinking, and encouraged in their gifting. They were given many opportunities to collaborate with other students to discuss the ways they could develop their leadership and respond to issues in their school community.

Lord, you are our God; do not let mere mortals prevail against you.” The Lord struck down the Cushites before Asa and Judah. …’ (2 Chronicles 14:11-12 NIV).
Devotion – Know when to let go
Persistence, determination, commitment, and recognising the ‘right time to throw away’ are all commendable qualities, whether it’s setting aside time to pray and read every day, eating dinner with your family, finding a better job, or losing weight, etc.
