Let Us Pray for Our Teachers
Almighty God, we praise you for being our great teacher. Please provide all our teachers with your wisdom and grace. Please help them to shine your light and help us, as students, to learn and listen diligently. Please send your Holy Spirit to fill our teachers, as well as us Lord. Please help us to respect our teachers with the respect they deserve. Thank you, Lord, for the blessing of our amazing teachers and staff here at CCS. Please protect our teachers and their families from any harm or evil. In your son’s great name we pray, Amen.
— Grant Long, Grade 6 (Mr. Rieke’s class)
