Back to School With Faith
A new school year brings new classrooms, new teachers, new friendships, and new opportunities to grow. As children return to school, Kids Corner is encouraging families to begin the year with prayer, confidence, kindness, and faith in God.
Remind children that God is with them in the classroom, on the school bus, during tests, while making friends, and whenever they face something new. They can pray, trust God, show kindness, and let His love shine through them each day.
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
— Philippians 4:13 (KJV)Start the School Year With Faith
- Pray together before the first day of school.
- Pray together every morning before school, making it part of everyday life.
- Choose a Scripture for the school year.
- Have the children memorize one Scripture every week.
- Write an encouraging note for a child's backpack or lunchbox.
- Practice showing kindness to a new student.
- Thank teachers, school staff, and bus drivers.
- Donate school supplies or support a local back-to-school drive.
