Bringing Faith Home - Helping Our Children to Pray in Color

Prayer can be a daunting task. How do I talk to God, what do I say, does God listen to me? These are all good questions. Perhaps you have taught your child(ren) the Lord’s Prayer, a bedtime prayer and a grace or two. You feel that prayer is important and you’d like to help your kids with prayer, but you’renot sure how to “do it” or get them beyond praying for a new Wee system or Ugg boots. In this brief tool box session we will explore a method of prayer called “praying in color” developed by author Sybil Macbeth. We’ll do some “color praying” ourselves and you learn some ways to take this creative method of prayer home to your kids. The best part of this workshop is that absolutely no artistic talent is required. If you can pick up a crayon, marker or colored pencil and put it to paper, this brief toolbox session is for you!
