Closing prayer Father, We thank you for the opportunity to begin this new school year, and we ask that you bless the students, faculty, staff and student families that make our school a great place. We pray that you will guide us in all ways, so that we will seek your will in everything that we do. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen David Bennett
