Prayer for the end of the school year

At the end of this 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.

For the faith that has been lived in our daily struggles,

For the hope that has lifted our hearts on the dark days

And for the love that has kept us going.

We give thanks for the community that we are, and we ask you Lord –

May your Spirit inspire them with confidence and calmness

Bless our families as we take our summer vacation,

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
