Button Prayers

If you are looking for an active, kinaesthetic, way of praying in a small group or even with the whole congregation, then this might be for you! You will need: A collection of buttons of different shapes, sizes and colours- at least one button for each person praying. Give everyone a button.

Trusting God: The Amazing Water Glass Trick!

You will need: A glass of water (about half- 2/3 filled) and an index card. This is what you do: place the index card over the top of the glass, making sure that the whole of the rim is covered by it, and press...

The Lord's Prayer: Crafts, games and prayer activities

On Saturday, Powersource explored the Lord's Prayer, looking creatively at every section. Here's how we broke it down and what we did. Some activities have links to posts which will explain in more detail. Please note that we had a 3 hour session so that's how we fitted so much in! Warm up- Order the Lord's prayer ( how much can you remember?). Prayer printed out and cut into strips, mixed up so they can be put in the correct order. We made this a race! Our Father in Heaven: Heaven collage (a whole group project) Hallowed be your name: Names of God dominoes (discussing the many names of God and what they mean to us). Your Kingdom come: Kingdom of God orbs . When we finished we put them on a world map to symbolise God's sovereignty over the world. The children then insisted we arrange them into a cross shape. They have really got into using symbols in prayer! Your...
