“Every person has the right to be respected and treated with dignity befitting a child of God.  Every person has the right to have appropriate boundaries respected.  Every person has the right to challenge any behavior or comment that is offensive or inappropriate.  It is the responsibility of everyone to protect the safety of children, families, women, and men, and to firm justice and tender mercy toward all.”

LORD,

giver of light, life and hope,

You have entrusted your children to our care.

We cherish their love and their energy for life.

Help us to help them

be people of strength, character, and integrity.

Share with us the wisdom

that will shape their minds.

Share with us the love

that will guide their hearts.

Share with us the courage

that will shape their future.

Be the light that guides them and us

to your glory and goodness.

Amen.
