Is prayer asking for stuff? Something that we are supposed to do before meals or bedtime? Is there right way to pray? A wrong way? Why do people pray so many different ways? Is it just a bibly thing? So many questions! But…what if we loosened our grip on having to know and be certain about prayer and instead turned our questions into wonder, curiosity, and a spirit of openness to give prayer a try?  In March kids will be invited to wonder and explore prayer through story and practice!  Each week kids will get to hear from a storyteller that is wondering and exploring prayer, try different ways to pray, and reflect and share on their experiences with friends.

Kids - check in at the check in table and join parents in the Commons each week for some music and connecting time. Listen for the invitation to head to the gym (K-5th grade) or media center (babies and preschoolers) and room 118 (for middle schoolers) at the welcome to wrestle with these big ideas in kid-friendly and kid-fun ways.

March 8th: Dear God…I don’t know how to pray! Wondering if prayer is like a conversation, helping us weave our strands of self, others, and God tighter together.

March 15th: Dear God…I have feelings! Wondering if prayer is like a place to express our thoughts and feelings even the ones we can’t share out loud yet.

March 22nd: Dear God…I have questions… Wondering if prayer is a way to explore our questions, doubts, and wonders about…everything!

March 29th: Dear God…I want to learn to love and be loved. Wondering if prayer is a connection between us and the joys, worries, and hurts of others.
