Pray
Prayer in motion
Prayer doesn't have to be quiet and sitting still. Prayer can be many forms, in many ways. This year as we explore the Bible we will also explore different ways to pray. This month the K/1 kids sang a song with motions for their prayer. Pray this prayer with your children, or listen to your favorite song and dance to it.
For St. Augustine tells us, " He who sings, prays twice."
Take My Hands: (Sung to: This Old Man)
Take my hands (hold out hands)
Take my feet (point to feet)
Take my mouth, ears, nose, and eyes, (point to each body part)
And use them, God to do thy will.
I am yours in faith and love.
Amen

2. Tell me something you know today that you didn't know yesterday.
3. What was the hardest rule to follow today?
