Year 5 and 6 Oho Ake Inspired
Jesus inspired those who followed him. From the beginning of his earthly ministry, his words and actions showed people that there was a better way to live, love and believe.

To think about I am inspired I have inspired others     

       

Labour Day

Labour Day commemorates the struggle for an eight-hour working day. New Zealand workers were among the first in the world to claim this right when, in 1840, the carpenter Samuel Parnell won an eight-hour day in Wellington. Labour Day was first celebrated in New Zealand on 28 October 1890.


Let us pray

Loving God, you guide the hands of all who labour, as they work to build, create, and produce. Thank you for the gift of strong bodies and astute minds that allow them to accomplish so many great things. Give them assurance of a good income and provide for them all the resources, strength, and support that they need. Gracious God, you bless all in so many different ways. Shower all of your children, as they labour, with your blessing and love. Amen

Nga mihi nui
