Tonight, at the start of our service, we prayed for the children present who will be going to school – some for the first time, others to new classes – and prayed for the schools in our area and the schools associated with church member’s families. Schools need our prayers! We prayed for staff and students alike, and prayed especially that love and truth will be at the foundation of all that is taught.
Schooldays can be the happiest days of our life, but they can also be difficult times. Bullying, anxiety and relationship problems can be prevalent; there are many pressures, not all related to academic achievement. Our board naming schools and children is a reminder to us all to pray continually for young people and for our community, not simply at the start of a new school year.
Please pray for:
- Goldthorpe Primary Academy, Sacred Heart RC Primary School and Highgate Primary Academy in Goldthorpe
- Gooseacre Primary Academy, The Hill Primary Academy and the Robert Ogden School in Thurnscoe
- Heathergarth, Lacewood and Carrfield schools in Bolton-on-Dearne
- Secondary schools (Astrea Academy Dearne in Goldthorpe, Saint Pius X and Wath Academy in Wath-on-Dearne) and Netherwood in Wombwell
Please pray for the children we know in schools locally.
