OPENING PRAYER
Let us bow our heads for a few moments of silence. Remember, these are your
moments. They allow you to prepare your soul for the most important activity
in the life of God’s child: studying God’s Word. I will open class by praying out
loud.
Dear heavenly Father, Thank You for your wondrous Word. Teach us as we
open Your Word, the Bible, and consider the truth You would have us learn.
Thank You for our heavenly Teacher, the Holy Spirit, and for young people who
love Your Word. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen
