 A Morning Prayer

You are good and wise

I will praise you when I rise.
Jesus, hear this prayer I send
Bless my family and my friends.
Jesus, help my eyes to see
All the good you send to me.
Jesus, help my ears to hear
Calls for help from far and near.
Jesus, help my feet to go
In the way that You will show.
Jesus, help my hands to do
All things loving, kind, and true.
Jesus, guard me through this day
In all I do and all I say.
Amen.
 A Lunchtime Prayer

Round this table, here to pray

First we thank you for the day
For our family and our friends
Gifts of grace that heaven lends
Living water, daily bread
Countless blessings our God sends
Thank you, Jesus, for them all
For the great ones and the small
When we're happy, when we're sad
On the good days and the bad
We are grateful, we are glad

Amen.
 A School Prayer

We give you our school.

We give you all the teachers and staff who work here,
We give you all the children who study here.

We pray our school would be place of great discovery,

adventure and creativity.

May it be a place where we love to learn and where we

learn to love,

A place where every one is respected and all are deeply

valued.

We ask all this through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
