Today's Prayer
Heavenly Father, as we step into Fall Break, we pause to give You thanks for the gift of these past nine weeks. Thank You for the blessings of learning, friendship, laughter, and growth that we have shared together in our Bethlehem family. We are grateful for the teachers and staff who guide us, the classmates who walk alongside us, and the opportunities that remind us each day that we are part of something bigger than ourselves. Bless our students, families, and staff with rest, joy, and renewal during this break. Keep everyone safe in travel and activities, and bring us back refreshed and ready to continue the journey You have planned for us. We give thanks for this wonderful school family, truly the best gift of all. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
