As we see summer coming to an end, we begin the anticipated “back to school” season. Whether it be a child walking into the first day of kindergarten or a college student saying goodbye to family, we celebrate our young people and pray for their success in the coming months. Each new school year is a new beginning—a new opportunity provided by God to encounter uncharted blessings. We hope that all students embarking on a new school year are filled with confidence and rejoice in their gifts and talents as they focus on schoolwork and extracurricular activities. And may we pray for all parents and teachers, that they will be blessed with the wisdom and strength to be a continued source of guidance and support for their children and for their students.
