Chaplaincy Update
24th March 2020
Dear Students (and Staff),
Wherever you are right now, I want you to know that
my thoughts and prayers are with you and your wider families. These are
extremely difficult times for all of us but it’s important that we try to keep
a positive mind-set.
American poet Maya Angelou, once wrote, “If
you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.”
Well, we are certainly living in a moment
in history where so much is changing around us, so much is out of our control. So,
what can we do?
We
can be sensible and abide by the rules of
social-distancing; not going out unless we absolutely have to. Let go of what
you think is your right; now is the time to act personally in a manner that is
for the greater good.
Proverbs 27v12 says, “A prudent person
foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and
suffers the consequences.” (New Living Translation)
We
can stay connected – I never thought I’d utter the words, “Thank
God for technology” but even if you live alone you can pick up a phone and stay
connected with family and friends. 
We
can reach out to those less fortunate than ourselves.
So, check out the GOOD NEIGHBOUR SCHEME - if
you are in Medway, if you’re fit and well, have time on your hands, are bored,
want to volunteer, then please check out details of this great scheme in Medway
to help those in need.
Finally,
don’t forget our EASTER FUN
- this is your chance to win one
of two marvellously magnificent mega Easter Eggs. There are only 11 eggs left
to choose from.
This is for Medway Campus Students only (sorry)!!
Tell a GOOD NEWS
STORY - if you have a good news story, maybe you’ve
been on the receiving end of a random act of kindness. Do please tell me and I
can share that with others. We all need some encouragement right now.
