Let Us Pray with Appreciation for Our Teachers
Father, within the walls of Cary Christian School, hearts and minds will be nurtured. In every moment, make your presence known in a mighty way. Give more than enough courage, more than enough truth, and more than enough love. Help us to come alongside those who lead and serve in our school with hearts of gratitude, with expressions of kindness, and with hands that help. May the days be blessed with growth in wisdom and love. May we all hunger for your Word. Thank you for those who invest in our young. How good you are to us, preparing our days before they arrive. Amen.
