Lord, as we gather for this Thanksgiving Party, may you bless everyone present here in this occasion. Grant us the wisdom to realize that without You, we would not be able to be successful in our endeavors.

Thank You for bestowing your blessings on our concluded undertaking. You have given us sufficient knowledge and diligence to get the job done.

We know that without your generosity and love, none of these would have come to fruition.

Bless this party so that the camaraderie and unity we have achieved in fulfilling our goals would allow everyone to have fun as well in this Thanksgiving Party.

May you continue blessing us, so that when we go back to our homes, we would also spread the news of good cheer and love that you have give us unconditionally.

Bless all of us here, and everyone outside of this circle so that we would recognize that nothing is impossible with You and nothing is possible without You.

All of these we ask, in Your mighty name. Amen.

Thank you Lord for the fruitful year that we had. We could not thank you enough for your generosity and love.

You have showered us with blessings and challenges to make us stronger. You have always been there in what we believed were our downfalls, but now we know that everything you have given us were stepping stones to be hurdled. We thank you for all of them.

This New Year, may we realize that we should always have faith in whatever you have in store for us. Because deal Lord, you are the ultimate provider and no one could surpass you in your generosity.

We pray for every person in this world, that each would recognize you as their maker and God. We pray also for strength and divine wisdom in all that we do, so all our actions would be to glorify you and spread your good news and love.

All this we pray, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Lord, we rejoice in your presence in our New Year’s celebration. May you bestow your divine spirit in this program that everyone would partake of the joy of your love.

May we see you in each one of us, so that this activity would bring in good cheer and genuine happiness in the hearts of all who are present.

Grant that as we leave after this activity, we would bring along with us the true spirit of the season, that of your all-abounding love.

Make us realize that all our plans for the year ahead, should be based on what you would want us to do, and not on our own selfish motives.

Enlighten up our minds to recognize that nothing could be done unless you permit it, and that our successes are not ours but yours.

May you bless the incoming year for us, so we could all triumphed in the endeavors you have set for us for this New Year and the years to come. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Let’s bow our heads and ask for God’s blessings, (pause for a few seconds)

Heavenly Father, we are all gathered here for our Christmas Party. May you bless us with your generosity and love so that everyone present here would be able to partake of the joy of your birth.

Allow us to share with one another your all-abounding love, just as you have showed us. Bless all our families, friends and everyone, so that as we enjoy this Christmas party, we would also realize that this is a celebration of your birthday; that Christmas is not about expensive gifts and grand parties but it is about love and generosity to everyone, especially the underprivileged.

Make us realize that in celebrating your birthday, we should also spread joy and love not only here in this party but also when we leave this venue.

Bestow your Divine Wisdom so we would be able to make every day a Christmas day from this day onwards.

Bless this Christmas Party so that everyone will have fun in a Christian atmosphere. We ask all these through your son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Let’s bow our heads and place ourselves in the presence of the Lord.

Dear heavenly Father, we thank you for gatherings all of us today in this important event. May you bestow your guidance and blessings on this event so that we can enjoy and appreciate its significance in our lives. Bless everyone present today that each may be able to share what she or he has for your glory and honor.

Grant good health and safety to loved ones left at home and  peace and goodwill to all men. May the various activities related to this event be a success, through your intervention.

We ask all of these in your name, Amen.

This is an opening prayer for students, which is short and could easily be adapted.

Let’s observe a moment of silence. (Pause for a minute) Dear God, we bow our heads in recognition of your divine power and omniscience. We are aware that you are the greatest teacher of all time. May you endow us with your spirit so that we would be able to imbibe what our mentors would be imparting to us.

May we understand not only the valuable information that we receive, but also the deeper, moral meaning it could provide us to become better persons and responsible members of the communities where we live in.

Grant us wisdom to know which knowledge to retain and which ones to eschew.  Allow the everlasting ember of your love; prod us to search for knowledge. Let us realize also that we should do this not for our own selfish ends but to be productive part of the society. In this way we could bear witness to your love and generosity.

All this we intercede in your mighty name. Amen.
