Prayer for the End of the School Year

 

At the end of the school year

we give thanks to God:

 

For all the teaching and learning

that has taken place in our school,

both in and out of the classroom,

 

For the talents and gifts that have

been shared and the challenges that

have been faced;

 

For the burdens that have been

lifted and the hurts that have been healed;

 

For the respect and care that has been given.

 

We give thanks for the friendships

that have just begun and

for those that have grown.

 

We give thanks for the community

that we are and we ask you Lord –

 

Bless our families as we take our

holidays, may our time together

leave us with memories to cherish.

 

Pour out your love on us that we

may return renewed and refreshed

to continue our journey together.

 

We make this prayer through

Christ our Lord.

 

Amen
