Call to Prayer

Lord bless me on this day, guide me in your way,
calm my mind to be, let my eyes now see.
Surround me, surround me, surround me with your love.

Scripture

Mark 7: 6 – 8

Jesus answered, “Isaiah was right about frauds like you, hit the bull’s-eye in fact: These people make a big show of saying the right thing, but their heart isn’t in it. They act like they are worshipping me, but they don’t mean it. They just use me as a cover for teaching whatever suits their fancy, ditching God’s command and taking up the latest fads”.

Primary Daily Prayer

God saw how good it was … (Genesis 1: 21) One winter day, robins flocked to our backyard. They sipped the melting snow. They pecked at berries left on bare branches. It was such a joy to watch. It was a surprise! Most robins don’t come until spring. How will God surprise you today? When you are outside, look around. Maybe you can spot rabbit tracks on the lawn. A possum might run past you with some nuts in its mouth. Wind might swirl around your feet. Maybe you’ll see other kinds of colourful birds. Enjoy God’s creation. It is God’s gift to you!

Loving God, open our hearts to see how we can help others. Amen.

Secondary Daily Prayer

As we begin this school year, Loving God, help each of us look at this beginning as an opportunity to “go the extra mile”. This year will offer many occasions to contribute to this community. We ask for the desire and strength to do all we can and be there for each other, so that this year is a fantastic one. Amen.

Light of the world, you guide us in your ways and satisfy our needs. In your mercy, hear our prayers. Water us like a garden that we may grow to serve you. Strengthen us, and fill us with a resolve that never fails. Rebuild, repair, and restore our school community. Amen.
