We are back! On the first day of Sunday School, we did a scavenger hunt to help the kids get to know their fellow students and teachers, as well as other important things, like where the bathroom is! One of the tasks was to add an owl with their name on it to the bulletin board in the hallway. After that each class went through five Back to School prayer stations, as described below:
STATION #1 - Roll a single die and see what number you get. Pray for that many people you see at school. Don’t forget cafeteria workers, crossing guards, and Principals!
STATION #2 - Pick up the heavy backpack and put it on your back as you talk with Jesus about things that feel heavy and hard about school. Then take off the backpack and thank Jesus for helping you carry those burdens.
STATION #3 – Choose a toy that you might find at your school from the bin. Hold the toy in your hands as you silently pray. Ask God to help you be a good and kind friend as you play at school.
STATION #4 - Write a teacher’s name on the whiteboard. Then pray and thank God for that teacher. Ask God to help the teacher have the energy and wisdom they need to do their job.
STATION #5 - Draw something you love about school on a paper heart. Thank God for the opportunity to enjoy that good thing. Take your heart to school with you and show it to your teacher so they can get to know you better!
