Let us bow our heads and feel the presence of our lord, in the name of

the father, and of the son, and of the holy spirit amen.

Heavenly Father, Today, as we take the first small step on the

road of the new academic year, remind us of Jesus’s call for us to wash
each other’s feet. As we grow together on this path, may we cast aside
our pride and open our hearts and minds to you.
We give you our hopes, worries and fears as our lovely child
starts new academic year. We pray that you would fill their hearts with
excitement and calm their worries with your love. Please go before
them, help them make friends, enjoy the activities and build
relationships with their teachers and carers. May we learn to entrust
them each day into your care, and as we do may they grow in
confidence and independence. Father, Renew our strength, that we
may persevere through obstacles that we will surely encounter. Bless
all of our teachers, administrators, support staff and all of our families.
In Jesus name.
Amen.
In the name of the father, and of the son, and of the holy spirit amen.
