Summer School Prayer
Spirit of Life and Love,
Thank you for the many blessings of Summer School;
for our sacred community, where it is okay to be authentic;
for the theme talk speakers, group leaders, worship leaders,
optional session leaders and the Summer School Panel,
who make it all possible;
for each and every one of us, who choose to risk being vulnerable;
for the staff of the Nightingale Centre,
whose quiet efficiency make us feel so welcome.
for the joys of reunions with old friends and for making new ones;
for the beauties of the Derbyshire countryside,
which enfolds and surrounds us;
for sunlight on green grass and the sound of children’s laughter;
for the chance to learn new ways of thinking and understanding,
and kinder ways of being together;
for the stretching of bodies, minds and hearts,
through our groups and activities and worship;
for given and receiving;
for sharing and silence;
for food and faith and fellowship;
for all these contributions to the magic which is Summer School,
we are truly grateful.
Amen
