TEACHERS and parents of students of the Glowell Preparatory School in Portmore, St Catherine, met Thursday for the school’s annual prayer breakfast.

The school’s founder and principal Gloria Jack, said teachers and parents meet once a year, in November, to give thanks to Almighty God, through prayers.

“We salute and celebrate you, our parents. We celebrate you because you have been chosen by the Almighty God for his heritage because children are heritage of the Lord. Parenthood is a life-long journey; as long as you’re alive you will be parenting,” said Jack. She added: “We live in an upside-down technological world where man thinks that he is god [so] we have to develop a spiritual relationship with God, as no one can deny the fact that the most important part of our day’s activities is when meet together as a family to give God thanks. He has a direct line, a line that never goes busy, and a line that is always working. He is a person who we can always talk with because, regardless of what we may think, He is the Almighty.”

She urged the parents to bring up their children in a proper way, and not be guided by the world, reminding that the home is the first place where discipline should be taught.
