God of peace,
the end of primary school is a big moment for both children and
their parents.
You know the worries in our hearts about what the new school
year will bring.
Lead us, as we get to know new people and buildings.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
God of blessings,
we thank you for the many happy memories we will take with
us,
for what we have learned in the last few years, for the friends
we made.
Help us always to find things that make us happy and give us
a smile.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
God of comfort,
we are sad that some things we have loved come to an end
now,
the comfort of being in a school where everybody knows everyone,
the teachers we leave behind, the friends we will see less
often.
Embrace us with your love and care for us.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
God of forgiveness,
on some occasions we have been angry;
some people have hurt us and we have hurt others,
some things were not fair, sometimes we were not fair.
Make right anything that is still wrong,
give us courage to ask for forgiveness and readiness to
forgive others.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
God of surprises,
there is so much more to learn and explore about this
beautiful world,
so much to get to know about other people and learn about ourselves,
and still much to discover about you.
Grow the love within us without which there is no true
understanding.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
