Closing Thoughts
There are many different topics to discuss at a PTA meeting and it can be a bit overwhelming. The same is true for school board meetings or any event that combines school and community members.
There are also plenty of things to juggle while preparing for a PTA meeting such as parent concerns, addressing financial situations in the school, discussing the school curriculum and of course grades.
Keeping your focus on prayer and surrender to Christ will help keep things in perspective that He will guide us all in our lives.
At the bottom of the post, there is an option to leave a comment of your own. It’s a great way to leave prayer requests in relation to PTA or school board meetings.
There is no problem too small or too big for Christ because He cares so deeply about every detail of our lives.
Let your brothers and sisters in Christ know the more specific ways they can be praying for these types of meetings and situations.
