Loving God,

We thank You for the gift of learning, friendship, and the many blessings we’ve received throughout this school term.

As we prepare for the holidays, may our hearts be filled with gratitude and joy.
Watch over all in our school community during the holiday break.
Keep us safe in our travels, in our play, and in our rest.

Grant us rest and renewal and help us to carry Your peace into all that we do.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
 - Matthew 11:28

May the peace of Christ go with you wherever He may send you.
May He guide you through the holidays, protect you through the storms,
and bring you back rejoicing, renewed and ready for the term ahead.
Amen.

Meditation Moment Before the Holidays

Take a quiet moment to pause.
Breathe deeply.
Think of one thing you are grateful for from this term,
and one hope into the holidays.
Invite God into that space of gratitude and hope.
Let His peace fill your heart.
"Be still, and know that I am God."
— Psalm 46:10
