TEACHER’S PRAYER Lord, I know I have a responsibility to teach children about you. Please help me every step of the way. I pray that I can answer all questions posed to me by the students. I ask you to guide me to instill in the young people a love of God, respect for themselves and others, and a continuing exercise of replacing negative thoughts with positive ones, thus changing from bad to good all their thoughts and deeds. Amen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STUDENT’S PRAYER Lord, I know I have a lot to learn about you and about how to live my life. I come to you with my concerns. When I feel lonely because no one seems to care; when I get angry because life seems so unfair; when I feel closed in by pressures to succeed, accomplish, and excel; when I get confused about what is right and when I am afraid, take my hand and walk with me. Amen. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saint Mark's 2023 children's church envelopes will be available the first Sunday of December. They will be on the tables at the back of Saint Mark's church. Thanks to all children who have been using their envelopes.
Supporting your church by putting an envelope into the collection basket at every Mass is a very good habit to get into.
