Term 2 Prayer Breakfast – MLC School Community
On Wednesday morning, members of the MLC School community gathered for this term’s Prayer Breakfast, bringing together staff, parents and Old Girls in a spirit of gratitude, reflection and shared purpose. The gathering acknowledged the School’s 140th anniversary, as well as the upcoming celebration of Mother’s Day.
The gathering offered a meaningful time of connection and reflection, honouring the relationships that have shaped MLC School across generations…Rev Vinnie, drawing on John 14:15–21, gave emphasis to Jesus’ words: ‘I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to help you and be with you forever…I will not leave you as orphans.’
This promise of God’s abiding presence invited the community to consider how love is lived out through care, faithfulness and everyday acts of compassion within families, friendships, relationships and school life.
Mother’s Day was acknowledged with warmth and inclusivity, recognising mothers, caregivers and all who nurture others, while holding space for the varied experiences this day can bring. This inclusive approach ensured that all present felt seen and respected, reflecting the School’s commitment to compassion and belonging.
The Prayer Breakfast served not only as a time of spiritual reflection, but also as a meaningful opportunity to strengthen community bonds. Conversations shared over breakfast fostered connection between the school community, highlighting the continuity of the MLC School story across generations.
Together, the community gave thanks for MLC School’s rich history and looked ahead with hope, grounded in a shared commitment to step forward with courage, growth, integrity, respect, and compassion… trusting that the same God who has been faithful for 140 years, will remain faithful still.
Happy Mother’s Day to all Mums and Nurturers of our community!
