Cover our school with prayer!

I just wanted to remind everyone to lift Bethel Life school in your prayers.
We have some families undecided about joining our school. Pray for the families that have visited with the school this summer and ask that God gives their family guidance to choosing a school.

Pray for our returning teachers, and teachers who are changing roles in our school. Pray for God to guide them as they prepare for the new school year.

Pray for our school principal as Mr. Soule starts off the year- ask for God's guiding hand to be upon him. That he will be there for the kids of the school as a leader, role model, authority figure, a shinning light, a positive figure for our children.

Pray for our office staff; each role they have is very important for our school to run efficiently so pray that God is guiding them at all times.

Pray for the church staff; without the church, there would be no school. Pray that as the church makes the decision about the new pastor that God's hand is in it and that the person who becomes the new pastor will be a great fit for the church and our school.

Pray for our janitorial staff and groundskeepers and all the others I didn't mention who are the workers behind the scenes! Keep them all healthy and to be ready for accidents!

Pray for our latchkey staff- that they will have patience for the children who need this service.

Pray for our school nurse, music teacher, librarian, computer teacher, Spanish teacher, gym teacher, coaches, art teacher and any other teacher I forgot! Pray that they are patient with children, are ready for the school year, keep healthy, and know we appreciate them.

Pray for our kitchen staff as they prepare for our school lunches! Pray that they too will stay healthy as they prepare our food daily and that lunch times run smoothly and on time!

Pray for the teachers who have been called elsewhere to serve- they are following what God asks; that they are a bright light in a dark place; that wherever they are going is right for them, and they have peace with that choice.

Pray for the families that are still troubled with finances. Pray that God is guiding them to do what is right. If they decided they can't come back right now, we pray that maybe they will find a way to return when things pick up!

Pray for all the parents who will step into volunteer spots at our school- for the parents who will send items for class parties, help in fund raising, PTF. Pray that wherever they are asked to help, that there will be someone to fill the need.

Pray for all the children who are returning, that whatever is going on in their lives all is good, pray that the children who are bullied will not be bullied again. That the children who bully will know right from wrong this year. Pray for focus on the school year.

Just remember to be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Can you believe that the new school year is about to start!



PTF has been busy this month getting ready for the return of school! We have held a meeting at my home to discuss the activities we would like to see happen in September - December. We have a lot of wonderful ideas - we are waiting to hear back from Mr. Soule so we can set the dates!

This years PTF committee members are:

Andrea McClellan

Brenda Harvey-Smith

If you have ideas, questions or comments for us before school starts please email us at: blsptf@aol.com

We are dedicating our time to work with each other as a team to bring PTF to God's glory!
