  3. Our School Mission Statement • In groups of 3 or 4 take time to look at your school mission statement. • How is this lived out on a daily basis? • What part do you play in this? • What do pupils see happening around them to make this real? The SDBE - Supporting Christian Education

  4. Bishop Christopher’s Call to Mission • is my invitation, as leader in mission, to the people, churches, schools, communities and deaneries of the diocese to reflect on our mission priorities and to commit ourselves to concrete action in our own contexts.’ ‘Faith Hope Love The SDBE - Supporting Christian Education

  5. ‘Faith, hope and love are values central to the Christian life, deeply rooted in our core affirmations of Christian faith, and also resonant and accessible for people not yet involved in the life of the Church.’ The SDBE - Supporting Christian Education

  6. Communities expressing faith • We witness to our faith in Jesus Christ, crucified and risen from the dead, and we confess him as Lord and God. • When many are confused or unsure, we try to help people articulate the faith for which they seek. How does our school articulate faith? The SDBE - Supporting Christian Education

  7. Communities bearing hope • We look to an imperishable hope, which will not disappoint us. Whilst many voices speak of anxiety and despair, we try to point people to signs of real and transforming hope in their lives. How does the work of our school community transform lives? The SDBE - Supporting Christian Education

  8. Communities embodying love • We love because He first loved us, and the love of God has been poured out into our hearts by the Spirit he has given us. In a world of loneliness and division, we try to give and to receive true love in our relationships with people. How do we express love in our school? The SDBE - Supporting Christian Education

  9. Linking the two • In your groups go back to your school Mission Statement. ---------&--------- How does your School Mission Statement link to the Bishop’s call of Faith, Hope, Love? The SDBE - Supporting Christian Education

  10. Prayer • God of faith, deepen our faith • so we may bear witness to Christ in the world; • God of hope, strengthen our hope • so we may be signposts to your transforming • presence; • God of love, kindle our love • so that, in a fragile and divided world, • we may be signs of the faith, hope, love • which we share in Jesus Christ. Amen The SDBE - Supporting Christian Education
