Youth Sunday School (extensive pictures)

Youth Sunday School

Our theme for the past 2 months has been methods of prayer. We did the Lord's Prayer in connection with praying with prayer beads (similar to rosaries), and praying with our hands by making signs for the church, centering prayer, prayer journaling, singing (including writing our own song to the tune of Kumbaya), using the Prayers for Individuals and Families in the Prayer Book, and creating original prayers. A picture, though, is worth a thousand words:






Making diaries in which we can write our thoughts to God, prayer jounaling.










Altagracia with her diary.














Making signs, praying with our hands.






More signs to promote the church services and the church's presence in the neighborhood.








Bible study as were learning the Lord's Prayer for prayer beads (like a rosary, but shorter).

Making prayer beads out of nylon twince and screw nuts. They actually turned out really well. The kids loved them and wore them on their hands and belt loops.
