What a wonderful Sunday in Kids!

We are only in the second week of October and with our Element: PRAYER, and it has been such a blessing to see your kids learning how to have a conversation with God.

The Big Idea for this week was Jesus taught us how to pray. We learned in Matthew 6 how Jesus prayed while here on earth. The Lord’s prayer or Model prayer teaches us how we should pray. Listen to the podcast below to hear more about what we learned in Kids this week.

This week we did a craft! Use it as a tool to help your kids learn to pray. Each bead on the craft reminds us of the Lord’s prayer and how we should pray.

• Blue bead - Dear God, the opening of the prayer.

• White bead - Praise God, He is holy, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, faithful, Creator, etc.

• Black bead - Confess Sin, take this time to ask for forgiveness of sins

• Brown bead - Prayer Request, as our verse says let your request be made known to God.

• Purple bead - Thanksgiving to God, take this time to thank God for the request he has answered and how he has provided for you

• Red bead - In Jesus Name, we pray to God, but in Jesus name because Jesus is our intercessor.

Many times kids and adults have a hard time with PRAYER. Use this craft to keep you on track. This is how Jesus prayed and what better example to follow.

Next week is KIDS TAKE OVER BOTH SERVICES!!! Oct. 20! We we will be quoting scripture, the books of the Old Testament, and singing songs on stage. They have been learning these things in class.
