World Teachers Day

Next Friday, 27th October is World Teachers’ Day. As teachers, it is an honour and a gift to walk with children on their learning journey; to offer guidance, understanding and belief in them. We ask for teachers on that journey for company from Jesus, the greatest teacher. And we remember that the greatest teacher in our children’s lives is their parents.

A Prayer for Teachers

Loving God,

You came among us as a teacher, healer and saviour.

On this World Teacher’s Day, bless your teachers

Help them become even more joyful disciples and profound echoes of your wisdom,

Bless our teachers with the gifts of Your truth, beauty and goodness.

Bless them with integrity, so that they bring Your words to life.

Bless them with courage and perseverance to walk the paths You have laid out.

We pray in the name of Jesus

who knows all too well the challenges and joys of being a teacher,

Amen
