Gathering Prayer: School Creed All:

This is our school, Let peace dwell here,

Let the room be full of contentment. Let love abide here, Love one another,

Love of all peoples, Love of life itself, And love of God. Let us remember,

That as many hands build a house, So many hearts build a school.

The movement of people is not new.

But why do people move?

For thousands of years, people have moved from one

area of the world to another.

This is called migration.

Refugees and migrants often use the same routes and modes of

transport, as they make their journey.

Love your neighbour

Jesus, friend and brother,

You know what it is like

to be hungry and thirsty.

You know what it feels like

to be a stranger who is made unwelcome.

You know the suffering of all

who have lost everything.

We pray that by welcoming refugees

we may show love for our neighbour

and be closer to you.

Amen.
