Short Closing Prayer

(for the end of class)

Dear Lord,

Thank you that you promise us
That when two or more come together in Your name
You are with us.
Thank you Lord that you have been with us throughout this lesson
And that you are with us right now.
Inspire us as we leave this place
To love and serve You always.

In the name of Jesus.
Amen.
