Will you bow as a sign of His truth?

This week we have been focussing on Psalm 95 versus 1-6:

Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. 2Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song. 3For the LORD is the great God, the great King above all gods. 4In His hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to Him. 5The sea is His, for He made it, and His hands formed the dry land. 6Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.

Many have described Psalm 95 as a guide to worship. But first we must understand - what is “Worship”? According to Psalm 95:1-6, worship is to surrender. In Hebrew, the word “worship” (Shakah) means to fall down or bow down. The Psalmist says, “Come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the Lord our God our maker” (95:6). To worship properly is to surrender to God. We worship God because He has given us life (physical and eternal).The confusion comes when we talk about what this actually looks like; to ‘surrender’. In other words, what am I to physically do when

it comes to worship (song or life)? Praising and worshipping God is done in many different positions and forms. Here are several biblical examples:• Sitting - Acts 2:1-2 says, “A sound like the

blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.”

• Kneeling - Psalms 95:6 says, “let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.”

• Standing - Exodus 33:10 says,“they all stood and worshiped”

• LyingDown - 1 Kings 18:39 says, “When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, “The LORD - He is God! The LORD - He is God!”

• Bowing head - 2 Chronicles 29:30 says, “So they sang praises with gladness and bowed their heads and worshipped.”

• Liftinghands - Psalm 63:4 says, “ I will lift up my hands.”

• Dancing - Psalm 149:3 says, “Let them praise His name with dancing.”

All of these acts of surrender can be done both inside and outside of song. When we worship, we give up ourselves and give our lives over to God. Paul says in Romans 12:1, “I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living

sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship.”This is why we are so excited to lift our voice in praise at our Friday Chapels, not to mention my enjoyment of dancing (probably not an accurate description) and encouraging each of you to join in with this uplifting experience.Worship can only be given to God (Exodus 20:3). Our English word for worship literally means, “worth”. Worth is what you place a high standard on. Therefore worshipping is when we attribute ultimate worth to something. Whether it’s an object, or a person, or even an idea, if you attribute worth to anything other than God, you are in an act of idol worship. (“You shall have no other gods before Me.” Exodus 20:3). To worship God is to recognise His worth or worthiness in your life; to look God-ward, and to acknowledge in all ways the value of what we see. The Bible calls this activity “glorifying God”. Note that the Psalmist in these verses does not simply call us to worship God. He wants us to place great worth on Him. He does this by calling us to bow down. He calls us to kneel before the Lord. Bowing is a traditional way to show respect in many cultures. If you are trying to show respect for the tradition, it is important that you know when to bow and when not to bow. Each culture has its own unique rituals associated with proper bowing. Bowing is typically used in Asian cultures to show respect, honor, or gratitude. A silent bow often replaces the phrase “Thank you.” In Asian cultures, you should bow from the hip

with your head pointed down. Polite bowing is still common in many Asian countries. Bowing is prevalent to varying degrees in many East Asian countries, but it is most prominent in China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and Vietnam. Various nuanced bows are used to express apologies, gratitude, sincerity, deference, and remorse, among other things. As a community we are very aware of our link to the Korean culture and as our tour students are about to visit our sister schools in Korea they will learn first-hand the subtleties and significance of this important tradition.There are certain rules associated with how you bow. For example, bowing must be done with eyes down on the floor. This simple action shows trust, but if the person bowing locks eyes with the receiver, this shows distrust.Worship is homage consisting of both an attitude of deep respect, adoration, reverence and even awe and the activities designed to describe the position and worth of the One worshipped. Thus our act of bowing to God. Perhaps we can say worship means having a bowed-down head and heart as we adore and revere our Maker! It is an attitude of constant attitude of yieldedness and humility before God, totally and unconditionally surrendering to the One we call our Master, our Lord, our God.When we bow down, He enables us to reach high. When we kneel before Him, He allows us to touch His face. When we surrender our lives to Him, He sets us free.

Year 9 Rite JourneyCalling and Departure Ceremony

“Even though I was injured and unable to participate in some of the activities, it was still a memorable night of bonding with family and friends while beginning to make the transition from childhood to adulthood. At Wivenhoe Dam, we participated in team building activities. The ceremony of burning paper candles, which had childish acts we wanted to give away, was a significant but relaxed ritual. Having this ceremony at sunset gave a happy and bright atmosphere. Once returning to the College, we shared a meal with our parents. We then gave our parents the gratitude letter we had been working on in Year Level for a couple of weeks. Writing a letter meant we could tell our parents our thankfulness for the many things they have done for us. This was one of the key activities of the evening. Much to my surprise, it turned out our parents too were asked to write us a gratitude letter. This was a chance for both my parents and I to share what we were grateful for. Overall, it was a memorable night that gave us a chance to bond with our parents and other peers while beginning to make the transition from childhood to adulthood. It was a relaxed event and I had lots of fun.” -NicolaTurnbull

On Thursday the 9th of March, Year 9 students attended the Calling and Departure Ceremony as part of their Rite Journey to signify the path they will take in life, becoming an adult and letting go of childish ways. Here are some student reflections from the event:

“I was pumped to get out to Wivenhoe and spend some time with my friends in a new environment doing some fun and challenging activities.Mr Krause and Mrs Campbell explained what we were going to do for the activities - we thought they were a little childish but it was still very enjoyable to take part. Mr Krause spoke about what the activities really meant and he made us realise that during the

activities or obstacles throughout life we are only as strong as the team that we are in. After Mrs Anderson’s wise words about how our lives relate to the extraordinary landmark in our region that this occasion took place (Wivenhoe Dam), the cohort split up into our small Rite Journey groups where we symbolically left our childish behaviours behind.We arrived back at school well after dark and were greeted by our carers and enjoyed a lovely dinner. About half an hour later I got the privilege of shovelling soil onto the 2017 Rite Journey Cohort tree. Mrs Anderson explained the true meaning of the planting of the tree (which represents us) and that the soil represented the nurturing discussions and activities of the Rite Journey that will help us grow strong and become great future adults. I was lucky enough to have my mum and dad make me their gratitude letters in their own special ways, which for my mum was scrapbooking and for my dad was recording it on a voice recorder that he uses for his work. After the night I was quite tired but I thoroughly enjoyed it and overall it was a great experience for both my parents and I.” -BradleyHill

“Mr Krause and Mrs Anderson both gave great speeches about the reason why Wivenhoe Dam was chosen as the venue for this ceremony, before we travelled back to school where we were greeted by our parents and caregivers. We shared a delicious BBQ dinner together.After dinner, it was time for us to introduce our parents to our Rite Journey teachers and exchange letters that we had written to our parents and they had also written to us. It gave us all a chance to sit one on one with each other and reflect on our childhood and thank our parents for everything they have done for us and will do for us now as we journey into becoming young adults. This was a very emotional time for some of us while reading our letters.Overall, the afternoon and evening for our ceremony was a great success and I look forward to continuing with our challenges planned throughout the year.” -CaitlinBellamy

“The whole thought of moving onto adulthood was quite scary and confronting as most of us, especially myself, were not quite ready for that. When we were told to write a gratitude letter to our parents, my first thoughts were “where do I start, what do I even thank them for, what if it’s not perfect?”, but as time passed quickly and with the help of my Rite Journey teacher, I realised that none of those things mattered as long as I did my best and spoke from the heart. Half an hour on the bus to Wivenhoe Dam seemed like quite a long trip but before I knew it, I was getting off the bus and we all made our way to a nice area with the water surrounding us - quiet, isolated and private. We separated into our groups for activities that involved teamwork and cooperation. Some of them were quite challenging as I wasn’t good friends with the girls in my group, but it was easy to connect with them and we all had a good time and successfully completed the activities. After our fun time of activities, it was time to get serious and talk about

the real meaning of the ceremony - entering adulthood. Speeches from Mr Krause and Mrs Anderson were very inspiring as the meaning behind their words set the tone of the evening. One of the most significant things I learned from this was the symbolism used about how a dam is only the starting place of a long flowing body of water signifying how we are only at the start of our journey from childhood into adulthood.Next, it was time to light our candles. We found a spot near the dam in our Rite Journey group, got our candles that had all the things we were to let go of listed on it and set it alight. It was quite confronting to watch my long list of childhood behaviours disappear in the smoke until there was nothing but ash. Afterwards I felt a little sad but this ceremony helped me acknowledge that this is the right time for me to transition into being a more responsible person.The closing part of this ceremony involved taking group photographs, reflecting on the evening’s activities and their meaning, before the

next part of the event back at school. We happily greeted our parents and relayed the experiences from Wivenhoe Dam before Mr Krause informed us about the purpose of this year-long journey. Mr Kenny led us in prayer prior to sharing a meal together where it was our duty to serve our parents.The evening concluded with students and parents exchanging gratitude letters. This was fairly nerve-racking as I was unsure of my parents’ reaction to the content of my letter. I was surprised and shocked to discover that parents had to do the same for their child. It was a heart-warming moment which touched me more than I thought it would. At the beginning of the year, I was a little sceptical about the program that would consume a whole year, however, after this Calling and Departure Ceremony I have an increased understanding of the process and its purpose and I now feel more enthused to continue.”

Round six saw some tough results against TSAC. Many of the Girls basketball results could have gone either way, whilst it was unfortunate not to seal any victories, all girls should be proud with what they have been able to display on the court this term. The tennis girls were competitive all day, however TSAC proved to too strong when it counted. The Junior B volleyball team continued their winning streak by winning what has been dubbed ‘the match of the term’! Let’s hope all volleyballers finish the term off on a high note against Faith Redlands this weekend. Finally, some mixed results in the cricket saw the Juniors narrowly defeated by 21 runs, whilst the mighty First XI booked their position in the Grand Final with a 120 run victory. Jayden Crighton continued his great form; this time it was with the bat as he posted his maiden century for the College. These boys will get the week off before preparing for a tough Sheldon. The Sportsperson of the Week goes to Brenton Malec from the Junior B

TAS Cricket Selection

Year 12 student Sean Haley was recently selected in the TAS Representative Cricket team due to his great success in the GBC competition. Sean was selected from 150 students across 15 schools, and this is the first time Faith has had a cricketer selected. Sean played against Wanderers Cricket Club in a friendly match at John Paul College on Wednesday. Great job Sean!

When not at interschool competitions, our Faith riders are out and about competing, training, participating in lessons and generally caring for their horses. The commitment from both riders and parents is full time, however all this hard work surrounding performance horse ownership provides many benefits. Horses must be cared for and exercised daily despite the weather or any other events that may arise. The responsibility and time management skills that young horse owners learn are invaluable. They must balance the care of their horses with their school loads, and often their work schedules. The ability to create and maintain a stable, yet busy, lifestyle often results in successful young leaders.

From time to time students who don’t normally travel on a Faith bus may need to do so for various reasons (work, appointments, sleep over etc). If a student needs to use our College bus on a casual basis they are able to travel as a Casual Bus User. Students are required to have written parental permission outlining the details of travel (date of travel, location of drop-off/pick-

Casual Bus Usersup etc.) and this is to be presented at Student Reception where they will receive a Casual Bus Pass. This needs to be organised prior to travel, 24 hours is preferable but lunch time on the day of travel at the very latest. Some of our buses are near capacity and we are not able to guarantee a student will be able to travel as a casual user. The notice we request allows for other

travel arrangements to be made in the event we are unable to offer a seat on the requested bus. A bus pass will not be issued if the College does not have parental permission. The cost of this travel is $5.00 per student per trip and must be paid when collecting a bus pass.Students who already catch a Faith Lutheran College bus, but who need to travel on a different bus from time to time (e.g. for work, appointments etc), are still required to have written parental permission and still require a Casual Bus Pass but there will be no charge for this travel.The Code of Conduct requires students to act responsibly and carefully in demonstrating respect to other passengers on buses, the driver and other road users. We would ask that you, as parents and caregivers, discuss the importance of behaving in an appropriate and responsible manner while travelling on our buses.
