A prayer for Chowan
Editor's not*- Th« following proyer was delivered by the Rev. Thomas
Coulkins. postor of Murfreesboro Boptist Church during the Foculty- Staff
Workshop.
Eferngi God. our Father, Thou who art ever leading us
on our journey to the Promised Land:
We turn to Thee at this time of new beginning with anx-
/•fy and trembling for we are aware of the awesome
nature of our task and our incompleteness and inade
quacy. Help us to move beyond our weaknesses and offer
opportunity for students to grow in fullness and strength.
We turn to Thee aware of the difficulties of teaching in
such a manner that students will be filled with a sense of
challenge and vision. Help us to open to them the wonder
of life and the joy of the questing spirit
Help us to be aware that the purpose of life is not the
accumulation of wealth and power, but serving Thee and
Thy children.
Help us, also, to so lose ourselves in service to Thee
and this institution that we find life for ourselves and for
Chowan College. May we. through the surrender of
ourselves to the educational process, direct the footsteps
of Inquiring students on their journey toward enlighten
ment and service.
And, O God. let us not forgef fhe many facets and peo
ple of Chowan College which moke the educational pro
cess possible in this setting: from the kitchen to the ad-
ministratiye offices; from the maintainance and janitorial
service to the class room; from the athletic field to the
library; and from the campus to the larger community.
May we all sense our importance as together we seek
to serve Thee within the educational environment.
May Thy blessings be with these Thy people as they go
from this place to their duties and responsibilities for this
new year.
Through Jesus Chrisf. our Lord. Amen.
