'Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms' (1 Peter 4:10).

I had the privilege of watching the Secondary School production of The Sound of Music twice. Not only did I get the opportunity to sing along to some of those timeless classics, but I had the chance to reflect on the boldness and courage it takes to perform on stage. Whether it is Year 2 students leading assembly or senior students in the recent speech finals, it takes immense courage to address our peers. But God calls us to do so in various contexts and in different ways. God-given gifts are not meant to be concealed, but used openly in ways that point people towards God.

Matthew 5:14–16 says, 'You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden… In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven'.

Thank you to those in our community that don’t bury what God has entrusted to them. Use your gifts faithfully, serve others generously, and let your gifts bring glory to God.

To God be the glory.
