Pray for Schools: Love our Schools 5th to 19th February
Dear Friends 
Love our Schools 5th to 19th February
With the cost-of-living crisis starting to impact many of us, we wanted to focus this year’s Love our Schools resources on how children and staff in schools are affected.
For those new to Pray for Schools, every February we encourage people to add action to their prayers for schools in their area. You can find some practical ideas
here.
For 2023 we have produced a couple of Infograms to guide your intercessions and created a page of prayers you may like to use. In addition we are delighted to have permission to share a blessing for schools from Wendy Thomas and Lisa Hutt ‘s new book The Father’s Love and Blessing.

Why not arrange a special prayer meeting in February and make the most of this opportunity? Perhaps invite
someone from your school or schoolswork charity along. Let us know how you get on.
