As your children and families begin the new school year, please know that we are thinking of you. We wish you many blessings as the year unfolds.
Loving God,
parent and companion to us all,
hold the precious children and young people
in your loving care as they begin a new school year.
Nurture in them a sense of wonder.
Keep their curiosity alive,
their imaginations wide,
and their hearts open to the joy of discovering something new.
May they be a source of kindness, courage,
and welcome to those around them.
Bless them as they learn and grow,
as they make friends, face challenges,
discover their gifts and find their own light.
May they shine in the ways that are uniquely theirs—and
may every child be surrounded by the love, care, and hope they need to flourish.
Amen
