At our school, we believe that prayer and worship bring us together to share our beliefs so that we respect, love, and value each other. Prayer and worship bring us to a place of hope and peace.
We have 3 prayers at our school, including the Lord’s Prayer:
Our school prayer for the start of the day:
Heavenly Father as we begin this new day, we ask you to send your Holy Spirit into our lives.
Open our ears to hear what you are saying to us, in the things that happen to us, and the people that we meet.
Open our eyes to see the needs of those around us.
Open our hands to do our work well, and to help when help is needed.
Open our lips to tell others the good news of Jesus, to bring comfort, happiness and laughter to other people.
Open our minds to discover new things about you and the world.
Open our hearts to love you and everyone we meet today as Jesus loves us. Amen
Prayer before meals:
Dear Lord, thank you for the food we are about to eat. We are grateful for Your provision. We ask that You bless our food and continue to guide us along Your path. Amen.
End of day prayer for all classes:
“God our Father, I come to say,
Thank you for your love today.
Thank you for my family,
And all the friends you give to me.
Guard me in the dark of night,
And in the morning, send your light.
Amen”
Children are encouraged to write their own prayers in response to current issues, or school events. They are recorded in class and can be added to class prayer trees.
