Journeys 8-19-12 Blessings to start the new School Year




This is the week to bless our students, our teachers, school staff, parents and grandparents. 

God bless our students.  May you soak in all that is given you this school year and grow into who God needs you to be.

God bless our teachers. May the content of your learning be boosted by the character and personhood that you present each and every day.

God bless our school staff.  You have no idea how the little things of your daily contact with our students and teachers; your smile, your look, and your prayers, support and make a difference in their learning and personal growth.

God bless our parents and grandparents.  All the effort to herd those kids out of bed and off to school and back will show in the adults that they will become one day.  God bless your being there for all those games and events; for making sure your children have what they need to be the best students they can be.  God bless you for those hugs and kisses before they go out that door, and, for the courage to trust their growth to the people of this school system in 2012-13.

God bless our school and our community as we enter into another year of this symbiotic relationship of being there for each other.  May we all; churches, school and community do what we need to do to live into the biblical command to live for the “good of our community” this school year.

Grace & Peace,

Rev. Kelly
