Use these Sunday School Crafts & Activities for teaching the Lord’s Prayer from Luke 11:1-13.
How do we get what we need from God? Do we have to act a certain way or pay a certain price? The simple and beautiful truth is that the Lord provides all that we need, and we only have to ask. Through prayer, we have access to God and can express our desires and needs. These crafts are intended to remind students of the importance of prayer, and guidelines for it. A prayer bracelet includes reminders to pray for people or things. A “helpful hand” serves as a special gift for someone else who might need prayer. And a prayer jar offers either a game or a guide to recalling and using the words of the prayer Christ taught us.
If you’re looking for some creative and fun ways to engage children in your church or Sunday school classroom, then this blog post is perfect! We’ve gathered an assortment of simple craft projects that will help them integrate Bible lessons with their everyday lives. These hands-on activities can be used at any age level – from preschoolers learning about colors all the way up through fifth grade boys who are studying kindness towards others.”
Bible Verses or Craft Captions to Consider… (Luke 10:25-37)
And he (Jesus) said to them, “When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread,4 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.” -Luke 11:2-4
And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. -Luke 11:9
Take time to pray! God wants to hear from you!
Our lives are in God’s Hands…He provides what we need!
I’m praying for YOU!
And when you pray…prayer bracelet reminders…
God loves you, and so do I! Praying for you…
