Grade 6

ARISE, SHINE!

by Ibu Ida Sriguntari

The courageous Grade 6 students joined the Grade 6 annual retreat in 5G Resort, Bogor, from November 16 – 18, 2022. The purpose of the retreat was to further develop relationships within Grade 6, challenge the students to learn more about God, and enjoy quality time together. We had Mrs. Juliet, Mrs. Sheila, and Ms. Barbie as our retreat speakers. They taught, challenged, and encouraged us in their series of messages related to the theme of “Arise, Shine”. Please enjoy some reflections written by the grade 6 students!

“The whole Grade 6 made an extremely memorable retreat for themselves and others. Our guest speakers talked about God and explained how big God is and how small we are compared to God. Meeting the guest speakers helped me to grow deeper in God. All the Bible verses and the "Prayer Walk" helped me make a decision to fulfil in Christ but also have fun!” - Sherny

“I learned about God’s miracles and how Jesus sacrificed His life for our sins. I now better connect with God and pray to Him every day. In retreat, we’re not only learning about God and connect better with Him, but we also did some fun activities like water balloons, throwing and catching eggs, bonfire, and many other activities.” - Jordan

“I had such an amazing time on retreat hanging out with my friends, teachers and guest speakers. The highlight was that I got to know my friends and teachers better while spending time with them. The guest speakers really opened my eyes about Christ as I had a one-on-one talk with one of them. She helped me realize that being a Christian doesn’t mean you only fully believe in Christ, but you accept Him as your Saviour and follow His words.” - Celine

We hope the Grade 6 students will continue to grow their faith in Jesus Christ and shine His light on those around them.
