Post-It Prayers

All-Age (Parade) service prayers for May 2015Our monthly All-Age service on Sunday focused on Ascension Day and the task that Jesus left his disciples with, the list of places he told them to visit and what he gave them for the task.

We thought we’d share online the Prayer Activity because it worked so well and was very poignant.

Everyone was asked for their prayers for this week, this year, in their lifetime and  beyond their lifetime and we put all the responses as Post-It notes on a large sheet of paper.

You can read some of the prayers on our Facebook page. Some of the children and grown-ups prayed for things happening this week, one child prayed her family could save enough money to go on holiday this year, for other children they prayed that, even beyond their lifetime, that there would be no more war and a sustainable way fr everyone to live. “Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer”.
