Memorial service
<prayer of each school year, staff representative>
First grader
"Thank you, as for the school year target of the beginner for us, thank you for this life in all". I perform the activity that each one thinks of about "a life" based on this aim. I visited the Holocaust Memorial and knew terror of the war and the preciousness of the peace and thought that you must never raise war some other time the other day. I thought about a right next person, the friend of the class, people to meet while I lived and thought as one person carefully and thought that it was the first step to peace to lose "indifference".
In addition, I asked oneself about a question, "own life was another one day" at time of the religion. Facing own life, I came to want to live in the life that I was given as hard as possible today by thinking that own life was limited.
Please lead it to be able to live while God, we thank you facing own life.
Second grader
God, we will watch own life so that each one can act with consideration to be able to value the life of the partner.
Third grader
However, our daily life was natural, and the person of the elderly had nothing to do with it, and the young person took a life away in front of nature not to determine and learned unspeakable fear in last terror whenever I saw a terrible sight of this damage in news.
When a certain future life is robbed of it by violence of nature suddenly and thinks the feeling of people who are puzzled for the rebuilding of the life even if people and the life that lost a family suddenly of I am saved to be it, a heart aches.
If it is me, I may not recover myself. However, I think when I send thought to people in the serious situation now whether we cannot but live in now carefully while thanking a living miracle.
Please take our prayer to pray for the revival of this stricken area so that God, we can live to a share of the one suffered from as hard as possible.
Fourth grader (high 1)
When typhoon No.19 hit the Japanese Islands directly, there was we fourth grader in Canada. It was in this year to merely pray, or it was not possible while there was not information how much thing the damage of the typhoon was. Meanwhile, the picture of the muddy stream which flowed on TV of the hotel was far beyond my imagination. The name of "Tokyo" was informed it with the picture for approximately ten seconds "JAPAN", and big uneasiness remained where it was specifically.
I asked a teacher about serious damage having been brought by a typhoon later and gave a silent prayer with all the school years. I recognized that oneself could be rolled up in a disaster anytime some other time while giving prayer distantly in remote Canada. I understood a certain miracle and was just feeling the heaviness.
Please so that the people who died can sleep a peaceful sleep. So that a missing person can come back to the family as soon as possible. And God, please watch an action to follow own life, the command of neighboring people when we faced a disaster to be produced.
Fifth grader (high 2)
I felt that it was the existence that could give the person who suffered hope while I caused the case that a human being was sad from this remark. We stop the regrets of the victim in a heart with a president and think their share to have to live. We who live in now stop it in a heart, and we want to still live in each day carefully what it is that there is it for the people who died
Sixth grader (high 3)
It is happening now in Japan to lose a life by disasters suddenly at many places. How should we take the reality it unexpectedly instantly for the ordinary days when we believed that it will continue from now on every day until yesterday when we were robbed of it from a hand?
When I contacted with the death of the close person, probably anyone will feel the regret to "do it this way at that time". Even a feeling of despair may fall into own powerlessness. However, I was able to understand it on seeing the movie which was a class of the religion deeply again the other day saying "the invisible bond did not fall even if the visible figure fell". And I thought the bond to be able to connect it through "prayer".
We sixth grader is a star of the dawn, and, as for being able to pray together, this year is the last in this way. I want to spend it particularly heartily while sending thought to important people who died for this one month that is the month of the dead person. And I will believe power of the prayer from now on and I value prayer and want to live in irreplaceable days.
The staff
So that days peaceful as soon as possible visit people suffering from a natural disaster and a dispute then now in in Japan and the world and we will lead God to the pains of people to be able to repeat thought.
