Prayer For Closing Of School
Dear Lord, Thank you that you promise us That when two or more come together in Your name You are with us. Thank you Lord that you have been with us throughout this lesson And that you are with us right now. Inspire us as we leave this place To love and serve You always. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
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 -
Bless our students as they sit their
exams: may your Spirit inspire
them with confidence and calmness
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
Thank you, Lord, for your presence with us this day. As we depart from this space now, we ask you to bless us throughout the remainder of the day and guide us safely home. Do not let the learning and conversations of this gathering die, but, instead, may they continue to ruminate within us and bear fruit in our ministries throughout the year, until we find ourselves together again. We ask this in the name of Jesus, and in the power of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Dear God,
Thank you for the things we have learnt, experienced and discovered through this day.
Help us to remember it all.
Please bless our rest and sleep tonight so that we can really enjoy our next day together.
Amen.
We really want to thank you Lord for all we've done today.
Thank you for the fun times, the laughter and the play.
Thank you for the meal times, the writing and the drawing,
For each and every child that's here, all the learning and the growing.
Come take us by your loving hand, and hold us through the night,
And when the morning sunshine comes, please fill us with your light.
Amen.
