Lord, this is the big day!
We gather to celebrate our final competition.
This year has been filled with glorious stories,
Wonderful images and long hours of work.
We have grown as students, teachers and parents.
We ask you to fill us with the fire of your Spirit,
A joyful, competitive spirit that seeks your glory above all.
Keep us reaching, and growing and expanding the talents that you alone can give.
May we be like the servant who doubled the
talents received,
So that you may say to us,
“Well done, good and faithful servant.” - Amen
