Good morning everyone and welcome back. Hopefully you have all had a good Christmas break.
The value for this half term is ‘Courage’ and today we are thinking about stepping out of your comfort zone.
It can take great courage to do something new or challenging. We call it ‘stepping out of our comfort zone’. Sometimes just small steps are needed but they can take us to new and exciting places!
Today’s story tells of a time in the life of Moses when his courage was really tested.

Can you read this acrostic poem?
Courage is…
Carrying on when things are difficult
Overcoming fear
Understanding and facing a challenge
Risking being out of your comfort zone
Always believing in God’s promises
Going for a goal
Empowered by encouragement
Which line do you think is the best way of describing courage and why?
Do you have a challenge that lies ahead? It could be a hobby that you have away from school or a target you want to reach in school. Think about the small steps that you could take to start achieving your challenge.
Facing Challenges Prayer
Dear Lord,
Give us your strength to face challenges,
Help us to remember that sometimes we need to take small steps to begin with,
but it’s the starting the journey that matters,
Thank you that just as you promised to be with Moses,
You have also promised to be with us
wherever the journey leads us.
Amen
