BACK TO SCHOOL

As a new school year begins, let’s pause and pray for our students, teachers, administrators, staff, and families.

Pray for courage for the student who is nervous about a new school or a new year.

Pray for wisdom for teachers and staff as they guide and care for our children.

Pray for patience and strength for parents and caregivers.

Pray for friendships that are kind, inclusive, and encouraging.

And pray for those who may walk through the school doors carrying burdens that no one else can see.

May our schools be places where every child feels safe, valued, welcomed, and loved.

Let’s all cover our schools in prayer. 🙏

Today, who is hard for you to pray for? Begin there. Whisper their name to God. That simple act is a practice of hope.--Rev. Brian Gilbert

Numbers 7 is perhaps the Bible chapter that I understand the least, not because I find it theologically challenging or because it presents a sensitive topic. It’s because it repeats the same long list twelve times. The leaders of the tribes of Israel bring the same offering for the tabernacle...
