Thursday, September 7th

DAY 1

MORNING PRAYER

Our spiritual theme this year is “Encountering Christ”.  We encounter Christ when we focus on growing our relationship with Jesus through prayers, scripture, and worship.  We also encounter Christ when we focus on seeing the face of Christ in others when we focus giving everyone respect and embracing their dignity. 

Loving God,

Please go before us as we embark on a new and different school year.

Bless the work you ask us to do this year at schools, and at home.

Help us to remember to greet each person we meet with dignity and love.

We ask this through Christ, Our Lord.

Amen
