Friday (January 14)

Morning

Thank the Lord for the older students who serve as classroom assistants. Pray that they will provide real help to the teachers, and build rapport with the younger students whom they serve. May it prove to be real-life training in servant leadership for each classroom assistant.

Thank the Lord for the relationships which develop through the buddy system. Pray that the mega buddies (rhetoric) and big buddies (logic) will grow as servant leaders, and in their words and actions be godly examples to the younger students.

Noontime

Thank God for the good of the performing arts. Pray that students will learn how to work in ensemble, encouraging one another actively. Pray that the “cult of celebrity” will be disarmed, and that, instead, our teachers will nurture in our students a desire to bless their audiences.

Pray for the Lord’s protection during the pandemic. Ask Him to protect not only our physical and mental well-being, but also our relationships amidst the stress. Pray that His perfect love will cast out fear wherever it may be found.

Evening

Give thanks, and pray for several of our teachers: Becky Michel (Writers Workshop & Lit Circles), Joy O’Reagan (Freshman & Junior Lit), Mary Cipriano (Grammar Science), Emma Lee (Grammar Performing Arts), and Robin Wiper (Logic Performing Arts).

Lift up several staff members: Carole O’Hare (front desk), and Lanie vanWijk (Help & Hope practitioner).

Nighttime

Thank the Lord for the ministry of Help & Hope for struggling learners. Pray that each participant will make bona fide progress over time and that the practitioners will be skillful, encouraging and loving.

Bless the Lord for guiding Greenhouse for over 20 years. Pray that the planning and preparation for the 20th Anniversary celebration in May will be fruitful. Pray that we will find the help needed for each event. Pray that every guest and participant will be encouraged in the Lord.
