As a new school year begins, children and parents are invited to visit our Back-to-School Prayer Stations to pray for their schools, teachers, classmates, and the year ahead. Families are welcome to walk through the stations together after worship, or children may experience them with their Sunday school class during the hour.
Whether you're able to join us or not, we invite you to pray the prayer below with your family as you prepare your hearts for the new school year.
Dear God,
As we begin a new school year, thank you for the gift of learning, new friendships, and fresh beginnings.
Fill our hearts with courage when we feel nervous, kindness toward everyone we meet, and wisdom to make good choices each day.
Please bless our teachers, school staff, and families. Help every classroom be a place where people feel welcomed and loved. Give us eyes to see those who need a friend and hearts that are ready to help.
Remind us that you are with us wherever we go. May we shine your love through our words, our actions, and our attitudes this school year. In Jesus' name, Amen.
