Back to School
Kick off the Back-to-School season in prayer! A new school year can spark excitement, anticipation, gratitude, and nervousness, alike. We invite you to pray through this week-long collection at home or in your classroom to center the new school year around God. Our school communities are a gift, so pray with and for them.
