Class Prayer Resources

      Each class will commence with prayer.  Since we are a family, each member of the family will be responsible for prayer.  I will hand out prayer list each month or quarter, which will indicate which day(s) you will be responsible for bringing in and reading a prayer. 

     You are welcome to write your own or use a prayer already written.  One of your first homework assignments will be to find or create five prayers.  In case you are not sure how to create or write a prayer, a list of suggestions with websites (listed below) along with a “prayer formula” will be made available during the first week of school. Prayer resources are also available in the classroom. Please do not take them out of the classroom. 

Prayer Formula:

Intro/ Opening - Who are you addressing?

Body Content -

• Thanksgiving
