Children's Day Prayer Service

PRAYER SERVICE CHILDREN’S DAY 

“You are the rainbow of our lives…”

01.  INTRODUCATION (Teacher/Animator)

            A warm welcome to one and all present here for this prayer service on this auspicious day - the 14^th of November - the birthday of our great leader, Late Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru who was a great lover of children. In tribute to that love we celebrate children’s Day today. Hence we the teachers of (name of the school) are happy as we fondly remember our leader as well as you dear students.  On this wonderful day we want to say that each one of you is precious and important and that you are a wonderful creation of the Almighty. You are the’ rainbow’ of our lives, full of promise for a better tomorrow.  Hence through this prayer service we want to wish you the best of life and also ask for God’s blessings on you so that you continue to live as bright and shining stars of our country. So let us all begin this service by surrendering ourselves to God and coming to Him with child like trust and confidence in his care and love for us as we sing the hymn – Just Like a child / any other hymn based on Children.

02. HYMN: Just Like a child (Pray Sing 23)

03.  INTERCESSORY PRAYERS WITH GOD’S WORD

Teacher:

            Dear students, we love you and care for you, and on this your special day we want to say something to you in the words of our Heavenly Father.

Leader:

          “See, I have carved you on the palm of my hand, I will never forget you even if your mother forgets you” (Is 49:15)

Teacher I:

            Dear students, God have created you with immense love and perfection. Each one of you is a marvel of His creation - His love. Hence you are special and wonderful. You are a Miracle. We pray that you always continue to keep up to His wonderful work in you by spreading His love to all around through your thoughts, words and deeds.

Leader:

            May they be one Father, as you and I are one… (Jn. 17)

Teacher II:

            “United we stand divided we fall” is one of the sayings we have often heard. Dear students, your continuous effort as one family to keep the flag of the school flying high through studies, sports, various competitions, etc. have been rewarding. We pray that like in school, you continue to work hard for your country too and in this way build a bright future for India, because in you lies the hope of aright tomorrow.

Leader:

           

            “Satya is what is good and what is true. When therefore a work is well done the end of that work is satya” (Bhagvadgita 17:26)

Teacher III:

Truth is the pathway to a peaceful and successful life. The thought that one has lived a life of sincerity and truthfulness, makes one feel fulfilled and happy. Dear Students, on this auspicious day we pray that each one of you lives a truthful life, overcoming all hurdles of falsehood, thus building the kingdom of peace and Justice.

4. SYMBOLIC PRAYER (Teacher / Animator):

          We feel for your prayer dear teacher, and also for the trust and hope that you place in us, to build a bright future for our country and so we pledge through this small prayerful gesture that we will try to promote peace and love all around us. (An empty vase is kept in the center of an outline map of India drawn in a prominent place before hand. The map could either be a rangoli or drawn on a big chart paper. The students at their appropriate turns will place flowers in the empty vase.)

A . White lilies:

(5/6 students belonging to different religions place the white lilies in the empty vase)

Student I:

            Lord we place these white lilies in the vase. These represent the sign of peace. We humbly pray that each one of us be filled with inner peace of heart and mind because, only then can we be a sign of peace to others through our acts of love, care and understanding.

B . Red Roses:

(5/6 students go forward and place red roses in the vase)

Student II:

            Lord, we place these red roses in the vase. These are a sign of love. We pray that we learn to love everybody around us not because they are our friends, or have done good to us or for any other reason, but love them just as they are irrespective of their caste, creed, or sex because you are God, and Father of us all.

C. Green Ferns:

(5/6 students go forward and place the green ferns in the vase)

Student III:

       As we place these green ferns in the vase we pledge that we will always move forward enthusiastically through hard work and dedication. Lord, we know that the right foundation to a successful future is hard work. Give us the courage to say ‘no’ to any kind of false means of attaining success, and reach our goals only through sheer hard work.

D. Different kinds of flowers:

(5\6 students place different kinds of flowers in the vase)

Student IV:

            Lord we place the different flowers as a sign of our diversity and praythat although we belong to different religious and have different cultures wecontinue to contribute to the good of our country as one family.

5. CONCLUSION (Teacher / Animator):

      If we want to build a strong and beautiful India we have to learn to preserve thevarieties of goodness in our diversities. Only then can we create something beautiful and wonderful like the vase we see before our eyes. Hence let us a strive to make our country a beautiful place to live in; a place where love peace and joy have made its home. Let us with all our strength and might make the best use of the freedom won for us 62 years ago. As a sign that we all - young and old - will strive to illuminate the future with our good deeds and actions, some of us shall carry lighted lamps and place them on the outline map of India while all of us will sing with one voice.

6. HYMN: A Light within the World (Pray Sing 207)
