This year Peter's school put its weekly newsletter online. It is well presented and carries well written articles including the one above by Peter as school chaplain. So Whittlesea Primary is really out there in the wider world for all to see! The following newsletter link should work each week, with a new issue popping up over the previous. Exciting stuff.

The number nine has spiritual dimensions
We have nine basic spiritual needs:
1. a viable philosophy of life;
2. constructive lifestyle guidance;
3. our relationship with an energising God;
4. our soul as the centre of our being;
5. hope in the midst of our losses;
6. reconciliation replacing guilt;
7. our being valued by God;
8. our moments of transcendence;
9. our belonging to a caring community.
And according to the Bible, there are nine spiritual gifts:
Love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, humility and self-control.

Another list of nine
These are drawn from Romans 12:10-13
1. With brothherly/sisterly love, be devoted
2. With honour, raise another above yourself
3. With zeal, never be lacking
4. With your spirit, be fervent
5. With the Lord, be doers and not just hearers
6. With hope, be joyful
7. With affliction, be patient
8. With prayer, continue at it
9. With the needy, share and be hospitable
These nine practical steps for Christian life grow out of sincere love, doing what is good (verse 9).
