God, bless this school year, this new season,
this chance to discover the world anew.
We sense the anticipation of something about to happen,
of all our preparation and worry and excitement
for new friendships and challenges and opportunities
…
God, bless this new environment and everyone in it.
The teachers and professors who ready their classrooms,
creating opportunities for learning and belonging.
The administrators and staff as they stretch hearts and minds,
and feel their own stretching too.
The parents and caregivers who carry the weight
of loving, protecting, and raising these kids.

God, bless all who begin this journey of a new year,
With every step they take, may they feel your presence
and hear you say, “I love you. I am with you. You are loved.”
Each and every one.
(Excerpts from Kate Bowler’s “Blessing the Backpacks”)

August 23rd message on "Gentleness" as we continue our series "The Fruit of a Spirit Filled Life"

A school is more than classrooms and textbooks. It is a community held together by countless acts of service, many of them performed without recognition.

As a new school year begins, we give thanks for teachers, aides, counselors, nurses, social workers, cafeteria workers, custodians, bus drivers, crossing guards, administrators, coaches, volunteers, and all who accompany children and young people each day.

May God bless their work. May they have patience when days are difficult, joy in moments of discovery, and the wisdom to notice the child who especially needs to be seen.

And may every student find places of safety, belonging, encouragement, and hope.

“Let all that you do be done in love.” -1 Corinthians 16:14
