Blessing of the Backpacks

Litany

L: For these backpacks and for the children who will use them,

P: O God pour out your blessing.

L: For the teachers and the administrators who will educate and share their knowledge with so many students,

P: O God pour out your blessing.

L: For the families of students and teachers alike, all of whom are both excited and nervous, hopeful, yet anxious of what lies ahead,

P: We pray that you will calm our nerves, steady our resolve to learn, to grow, to teach, and to share not just knowledge, but our love for learning and for one another.

L: O God we pray for your blessing on another School year, and another class of children who will go on to do great things no matter how big or how small it may seem to the world.  For when one learns to share a cup of water with a stranger, that is in and of itself a great thing in the Kingdom of God. 

ALL: Teach us all to be humble, to be kind and to seek wisdom as we seek you daily.  Amen.
