INTRODUCTIONPrayer Leader:
Good morning, and welcome to this prayer service
during which we shall pray for theoutgoing students of
our school as we mark the end of an important
milestone in their lives. The end of schooling
will mean the beginning of something new for
those who will leave this institution. Somewill be
moving on to new places, others to new responsibilities.
Moving ahead signals the end of oneseason, and the
emergence of something new. Let us take the
next few minutes to reflect on the blessings
of these school years, to give thanks, and to
invite our gracious God to continue with us aswe
journey forth through the changes that life ahead will
bring. Let us begin with a song that expressesour faith
in a God who has guided, protected and
accompanied us through these years and
willcontinue doing so for the years to come.
