Christian Values for our church primary school

We are working on clarifying and making explicit the Christian values of our church primary school. Here's where we've got to so far. We're thinking of using these as themes in some forthcoming assemblies.

Some Of Our Christian Values

from the Bible

LOVE

Jesus said: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. This is the first and most important commandment. The second most important commandment is like this one. And it is, “Love others as much as you love yourself.””

(Matthew’s Gospel chapter 22 verses 37 and 38)

RESPECT

Jesus said: “Treat others as you want them to treat you.”

(Matthew’s Gospel chapter 7 verse 12)

FORGIVENESS

The Apostle Paul said: “Put up with each other, and forgive anyone who does you wrong, just as Christ has forgiven you.”

(The letter to the Colossian Church chapter 3 verse 13)

THANKFULLNESS

The Apostle Paul said: “With thankful hearts, sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God. Whatever you say or do should be done in the name of the Lord Jesus, as you give thanks to God the Father because of him.”

(The letter to the Colossian Church chapter 3 verses 16 and 17)
