Opening Prayer for District Conference/Meeting

Lord God, we gather together unified in your name this morning seeking
guidance, wisdom, and support as we reflect on our last School Year`s
accomplishments and look ahead to working together to promote a brighter
future for our respective stations and to Sulop District in general. Lord,
grant us courage, boldness, and discernment as we engage in meaningful
discussion in an effort to grow closer as a school community.

Guide our minds and hearts throughout the year so that we work for the
good of our schools, community and help all your people. Fill us with the
grace of the spirit and continue to remind us that all that we do and
accomplish is for the pursuit of truth for the greater glory of you, and for the
service of humanity. Help us to grow in peace and understanding with one
another.

Lord, we thank you for the blessings that you have bestowed upon us. Help
us to realize how thankful we are to be working at such a wonderful people
and learning institution, and that God's presence accompanies us each day
of our career.

In closing, bless our families, friends, and coworkers with the gifts of
kindness, patience, love, and respect. Give us the grace to share these
gifts. Empower us to enjoy this new School Year, as we welcome our
students back, lead all of us through a successful academic year.

Lord, we bring before you these prayers and the prayers that we hold
silently in our hearts. We ask all of this in God's name. AMEN!!!!!!
