3. Opening Prayer
Dear God, I thank You for the gift of this child to raise, this life to share, this mind to help mould, this body to nurture, and this spirit to enrich. Let me never betray this child's trust, dampen this child's hope, or discourage this child's dreams. Help me, dear God, to help this precious child become all You mean them to be. Let Your grace and love fall on them like gentle breezes and give them inner strength and peace and patience for the journey ahead. Amen.

Laugh about it now” “It’s just amazing how many clubs there are!” “Amazing amount of equipment, everywhere well resourced. Staff are there for you.”
