I Prayed for You

Over the Easter break I was hearing 

about the Kindergarten class

 at St. Matthew in Walled Lake, Michigan 

and part of their prayer practice discipline.

 I had sent the resource created 

by Kathryn Stanis 

for Visual Faith Ministry 

to daughter Jessica.

On their Friday

"Prayer Walk"
 they deliver 
the prayers to teachers and staff
in the building.

They color and pray 
for the teacher or staff person they choose.
If they need help with spelling 
for a word they just ask for help.

Jessica  took the staff photos sheet 
from their school
and has this placed in the prayer center.
Students place a finished prayer
 in the pocket beside the staff list 
till it is time to deliver them.

Classroom prayer station.
Each student has a numbered pouch
 and friends 
can also pray for each other, 
and place a prayer 
in the numbered pouch of a friend.
Teacher Jessica takes them out, 
adds a hole punch 
and puts them on an O ring
 to make a prayer book. 
This is collected throughout the year.
At the end of the year this will be one of the 
"Kindergarten artifacts."

Teaching Visual Prayer 
with young children
gives them 
a way to bless others.
What a gift.
