As we focus on the Mountain of Education, we bless our school Superintendents.  We ask You, Lord, to guide each of them and their Boards, enabling them to be the voice of encouragement and wisdom to our principals, teachers, parents and students.  We thank You for their commitment and hard work as they strive to provide a quality education that prepares all children for a successful future.  Cause them to know and believe that Your plans and purposes for our childrens’ futures are the best! (Jer. 29:11)

We bless:

Casey Wardynski  (4th year) – Huntsville City Schools:  oversees 7 high schools, 5 middle schools, 21 elementary schools,  5  P-8 schools and 64 pre-K programs for more than 23,000 students  

Dee Fowler  (7th year) – Madison City Schools:   oversees 2 high schools, 2 middle schools, and 7 elementary schools serving 9,300 students

Matt Massey (first year) – Madison County Schools:   oversees 5 high schools, 1 ninth grade school, 5 middle schools, 14 elementary schools, the Pace school and Career Tech serving 20,000 students

We pray these leaders will listen to Your Words and know according to Prov. 1:2-4 “Their purpose is to teach people wisdom and discipline, to help them understand the insights of the wise.  Their purpose is to teach people to live disciplines and successful lives, to help them do what is right, just and fair.  Their purpose is to give insight to the simple, knowledge and discernment to the young.”  (NLT)

Join us in the challenge to faithfully pray for our schools! “Don’t pass by without a prayer!”   If you have kids or grandkids in the system or just have a heart for our schools, gather a group and pray together! You may also join or start a Moms-In-Prayer group for a school (for more information see momsinprayer.org or contact Lamarr Stevens, area coordinator at lamarrgt@aol.com.)   Ask others to join you in a prayer walk at a school/university that is important to you. Please share your walk with OurCityOnAHill as we continue to circle the city and encourage one another in the Prayer Walk Movement!
