Ezekiel 33:(1-6)7-11; Romans 12:9-21; Matthew 18:15-20

Teach me, O LORD, the way of your statutes, and I shall keep it to the end.

In our celebration today, as we begin this new school year, we connect worship and the time of the year when students, teachers, and school staff go back to school. Today we remember the children and youth of this congregation and for the teachers, school administrators, counselors, school volunteers, support staff, cafeteria workers, school bus drivers and all others who work in our schools.

Let us pray for all those affected by the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, which made landfall August 29 in Southeastern Louisiana. The effects of the storm are far-reaching. Entire towns are completely underwater. Millions of homes are without power. Tens of thousands have lost homes, businesses and loved ones and more than 100 people have been killed. Experts expect the death toll will continue to rise in the days ahead.

Let us pray for: peace in our world, all those affected by the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, the famine stricken African countries of Niger, Mali, Mauritania and Burkina Faso, the troubled lands of Africa (especially Liberia, Cote d’Ivoire [former : Ivory Coast ] and Sudan) and the people of Guyana. We lift up all the children and youth of this congregation and those involved in their education. We also pray for Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold, Diocesan Bishop John Croneberger and his wife. We remember in prayer Francis Coleman, Carolyn Goodwin, Eula Jefferson, Louise Meggett, Janice Nugent, Rudolph Perry, Tony Pina, Victoria Sawyer, Amanda Scott, Rev. Mildred J.
