Dear friends and supporters of St. Timothy’s,
As we move through this Advent season, we have so much to be grateful for.
It is often when our world is shaken that we have to rely on what is most important: not on our own efforts and achievements, but on God alone. Our world has been shaken. And God is faithful.
As we have trusted Him in the uncertainties of the last months, we have been touched by your support which has helped us deal with the unforeseen challenges we have faced. We were overwhelmed by the wonderful provision of our new building to house our upper grades in a safe and spacious environment, and we have been humbled by the way you have given so freely to cover the multiple extra costs associated with this year. We are very grateful. Your generosity has been real evidence to us of God’s grace.
Being unable to enjoy face to face teaching for three months in the spring made us realise how essential in-person teacher-student contact is to what we do at St. Timothy’s. It has been a real joy to have the students back in the classroom; laughing, working, playing, and delighting in each other. Their thirst for live teaching is very real, and the joy of learning together as a class in relationship with their teachers transcends any restrictions we have to cope with.
We are so thankful for being able to keep our school open every day since September, and for God’s hand at work in the lives of our students, staff, parents, Board, and wider community.
As we move towards Christmas, I pray that you would know deeply the Hope, Peace, Love, and Joy that Jesus brings.
Jenny Small,
for the staff of St. Timothy’s Classical Academy
