We come before you tonight with grateful hearts. We thank you for St. Timothy's--for this church and the support they have for this pre-school program.

We thank you for this school, for its teachers and for its Director, Ms. Kathy--We thank you for their Christianity, their guidance, their organization, their vision, and their love for the children.

We thank you, Father, for the parents and grandparents of our children--for their love and protection and for their keen desire to seek the very best early education for their little ones.

We thank you, Lord, for the gift of precious children--for their sense of adventure, their inquisitive minds, and their unconditional love.

And we thank you for your gift of unconditional love that we have through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Continue to watch over these children as they grow and spread their wings in this wide, wide, wonderful, world. This world is theirs, Oh Father. They are our future. Thank you for your guidance and your protection.

In your most holy name we pray.

Amen
