Praying the Word.

I love PRAYING HIS WORD! :)

One of my passions for Children's Ministry is to see kids dialoging with Jesus himself. I want to see kids alongside adults in the house of prayer. Just like Samuel, growing up hearing His voice and having a prayer life at a young age.

His a GREAT resource for learning Apostolic Verses. These verses are simply prayers that the Apostles in the New Testament prayed. I love this, because you are simply agreeing with God's heart when you pray what He wrote!

Fabric Dancing

Approaching the Throne of God with praise and dancing!

I love worshipping Jesus with dance and I stumbled across the concept of "fabric dancing" on familyfun.com and I thought, "What a neat thing way for kids to express praise!"

So I went to Walmart and bought tulle around $1.50/yd. I cut the fabric into 1 yard pieces and the kids love them!

Tongues of Fire

We made these hats a couple years ago when we were studying the early church. I LOVE THEM. Hee hee... they still make me giggle.

To create our "tongues of fire" we used a half sheet of yellow card stock and glued our verse then followed with crate paper. Lastly, we took a thin piece of elastic to tie them on. And voila! Instant tongues of fire!! Yay.

Praying for owies.

Almost every week I tell the kids that the same Holy Spirit that lives in our parents lives in us! We try to always set aside some time during our KidZone service to pray for owies. It sounds simple and it is. We ask Jesus to heal our owies believing that He will.
