Welcome to Year 2

Prayer Dear Heavenly Father, School has started once again and we praise you for a fresh beginning. May our hearts remember to seek you first each day. We praise you for every individual involved in our education; and we ask for the wisdom, safety and protection only you can give. Thank you for giving us strength to meet new milestones. May we rely on you to help us move peacefully through each routine and to master every challenge. Thank you for loving us and giving us one another. Thank you for the gift of a new school year. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
