Parent and Family Calendar 2019-20
One of the most visible links
to Samford University’s past is an oak tree.
Sherman Oak was the main gathering spot and
center of campus life for decades of students
on Samford’s East Lake campus. When Samford
relocated to the current campus, healthy seedlings
from Sherman Oak were chosen, gathered, cared
for and then planted on the new campus.
It’s not unusual an oak tree has played such a
prominent role in Samford’s history. Oak trees
have long held places of honor and been symbols
of place and might and strength. How fitting
Samford would treasure a tree with heritage reaching back to the days of the Old Testament. The
prophet Isaiah referred to the Israelites as Oaks of Righteousness. Joshua made a covenant for
God’s people and erected stones under an oak tree as a place of witness and remembrance. Even
today, President Andrew Westmoreland often refers to trees when he talks of Samford’s heritage,
“We sit in the shade of trees we did not plant.”
After years of care, today one of the seedlings from the original Sherman Oak stands tall and
mighty in front of Samford Hall as a symbol of remembrance. Your sons and daughters are very
much like this generation of Sherman Oak. You’ve cared for them and provided rich soil so their
roots could grow deep, giving the stability needed to stand strong in life’s weathers. You’ve
provided everything needed to allow them to stretch high with their lives and minds.
Now you are planting your sons and daughters in this place and entrusting them to Samford
University to teach and guide them as they grow. Those of us at Samford don’t take this
responsibility lightly and commit to do all within our ability to help them reach their full potential
and calling. It is our privilege to partner with you in raising this next generation of oaks.

FOR THE YEAR
Father,
I come to you in Jesus’ name and give (name of child)
to you. You alone know his/her struggles and what is best for
him/her. I release him/her to your care and protection and commit
myself to pray for everything concerning him/her that I can think of or that
you put upon my heart. Help me not to impose my will when I’m praying for him/
her, but rather, enable me to pray your will be done in his/her life.
Father, I ask this season at Samford University be a time of spiritual and personal
growth for him/her. Thank you for using the university’s academic advisors,
professors, ministerial staff, mental health counselors, and health clinic in guiding
the education and personal growth of (child’s name). Cause him/her to seek help
from the appropriate individuals. Thank you for bringing godly friends and role
models into his/her life.
I pray specifically for you to develop (name)’s mind, body and soul. Lord, give
(name) a clear mind, a teachable spirit and an ability to learn. Instill in him/her a
desire to attain knowledge and skill, and may he/she have joy in the process. Above
all, I pray that he/she will be taught by you, for your Word says when our children
are taught by you, they are guaranteed peace.
Father, I pray (name) will value the body you have given him/her and desire to
care for it properly. I pray you give him/her the motivation to exercise regularly,
eat well, drink plenty of water, and to control and manage stress in his/her life
by living according to your Word. I especially pray you give him/her a heart that
seeks purity. Whenever he/she struggles in any of these areas, may he/she turn to
you and say, “Teach me your way, O, Lord” (Psalm 27:11).
Show me places where I continue to hang on to (name) and enable me to release
him/her to your protection, guidance and counsel. Help me not to live in fear of
possible dangers or failures but in the joy and peace of knowing you are in control.
’
In Jesus name, Amen.You can also read
