In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Help us to learn from each other

and make each other welcome

and loved in our communities and our schools.

With hearts open to seeing God in others we continue our day in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
