Listen
 
 
A reading from the first Book of Samuel
 
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his
appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord
does not look at the things people look at. People look at
the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
 
The Word of the Lord - 
Thanks be to God.
 
 
Do you judge people by their appearance or their heart?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
How can you help to make sure that everyone feels included
and welcome in your school?
