Loving and faithful God,
as we begin a new college year,
we place ourselves and our community into Your care.

Bless our students as they grow in knowledge,
confidence, and wisdom.
May they use their gifts generously
and their voices with kindness, courage, and truth.

Bless our staff as they guide, support, and inspire.
Grant them patience in challenges,
joy in their vocation,
and strength in all that is asked of them.

Bless our families,
who walk with us in hope and trust,
and whose love sustains this community.

Send Your Holy Spirit upon us this year,
that in all we do we may
Live Fully Act Justly,
bringing hope and renewal to one another.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
