OCTOBER PRAYERS
of
Grade 3 Class





In our school, each class takes turns reading the prayer on the intercom each day. Sometimes the prayers are chosen from books, and sometimes the prayers are written by the students themselves.

Sister Henrietta taught us that prayers should have 4 parts:

- Praise
- Thanks
- Request
- Action

The following are the first prayers written by our class, this school year. Some of our students were then chosen, to read their prayers on the intercom for the week of October 15-18, 2002
