Term 2 Week 11 A
Hope and New Beginnings
Lord, We do not know exactly what lies ahead . It is trust in a God who holds our future. As we prepare for the break ahead, help us to finish well, to rest well, and to return renewed. Keep us safe in the holidays. Watch over our families and friends. And when we come back, may we cross the threshold of a new term ready to grow, ready to give, and ready to serve. We ask this with confidence, through Christ, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Amen.
