Friday April 28, 2017 – Founder’s Week
Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.
Almighty God, we come to you today and give thanks for all our teachers. Thank you for the way in which they give of themselves each day in the classroom. Fill them with your joy, so that the passion they have for their subject may become an infectious passion that spreads. Amen
