As schools across Enugu State prepare to reopen for a new academic term, children and their parents will gather for a special inter-denominational prayer session dedicated to committing them to God for guidance, protection, and academic excellence.
The event, tagged “Enugu Children’s Inter-Denominational Back to School Prayer,” is scheduled to hold on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, at the Christ Ascension Center, Independence Layout, Enugu (by Monkey Roundabout), beginning from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
According to the organisers, the programme is specially designed to spiritually prepare children for the school year ahead through intercessory prayers. All mothers in Enugu State have been urged to bring their children, while participants are expected to observe fasting. Children between the ages of 1 and 5 will break their fast at 9:00 a.m., while those aged 12 and above are expected to fast until 12 noon.
The prayer session will be led by Pastor Mrs. Favour Nnaji, with emphasis on spiritual dedication, divine protection, and success for pupils and students returning to classrooms. To further symbolise the commitment, school children are expected to attend the programme with their school bags and writing materials.
The convener, Mrs. Rita Edeh, noted that the event is a unique opportunity for parents and guardians to seek God’s blessings upon their children, ensuring they are spiritually fortified for the challenges of the new school term.
