WE COME IN PRAYER: Heavenly Father, You have commanded us to instruct our children in Your ways. We give You thanks this day for all fathers, mothers, grandparents, guardians, and the teachers of our school who joyfully accept this task and pass the truth on to the next generation of the faithful. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
