2 PRAYER POINTERS Education Sunday Education Sunday is a national day of prayer and celebration for everyone involved in the world of education. For more than 100 years there has been an annual recognition of Education Sunday in England and Wales, and is now celebrated on the second Sunday in September, in line with each new academic year. Please remember all those who are in education, especially those beginning new schools or entering university or higher education. Remember too those who work in schools head teachers, teachers and teaching assistants, other staff and governors. A prayer from this year s Education Sunday resources: Lord God we pray Your blessing on all who work in education, that they may see the kingdom come; We pray Your blessing on all who influence education, that they may see your will be done; We pray for all who are receiving education, that they may receive their daily bread; We pray for all those who have received education, that they may share their gifts with all your children; Send us out to live and work to Your praise and glory, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen ducation_sunday_2018/education_sunday_2018.aspx URGENT PRAYER REQUESTS: please call or admin@penrithmethodist.co.uk and we will pass on your request to all members of our congregation who are on .
