Feature Focus
Is a chaplain coming to a school near you?
What are your thoughts about chaplains being in schools?
To put my cards on the table, I gladly support having chaplains in schools, but I also understand why many people have reservations about this idea. If a school or district is going to have chaplains serving staff and students, then it is necessary to proceed with caution.

Keep It Simple Strategy
If you are meeting with friends, in small groups, or just working on your own faith journey, then check out this week’s simple and reproducible practice tip that you can try anytime. Remember, you can always find many more FREE materials at Grace In Motion.
For our second issue, it’s back to school time! Staff are already showing up for professional development and students are getting ready to kick off the 2023-2024 school year. Today’s simple strategy is PRAYER WALKING. Here is a one-pager full of ideas for how you can pray for a school in your area. No preparation is required and ANYONE can do it! You can spend 10 minutes, 10 hours, 10 days, or 10 months (the whole school year) on this. You can do it alone, with a partner, a small group, or your whole church.
Recommended Resource
If you want a calm way to ease into meditation, the Christian Meditation Podcast with Chaplain Jared might be what you need.
I have listened to an episode on many mornings over the past few years to slow down and refocus for 10-15 minutes.
