THE LORD'S PRAYER

Last KIDS LEAD Worship, I attempted to teach the children how to sign The Lord’s Prayer. They did pretty well! The next step is for them (and all of us) is to get the Signing down. The kids are also learning a kid friendly version of the Lord’s Prayer to sing while they sign. Hopefully, with your help, we can all sign and dance and sign The Lord’s Prayer regularly in worship. Once you can sign it, and sing it you will never forget it!



Included here is a YouTube link of the man from whom I learned the LP- signing. Please look it up. Learn it yourself and teach your kids! It will be fun; you’ll be discipling your kids in the faith,,

and you’ll have a new dinner activity for your crew!! 

Learning to sign "The Lord's Prayer"

You've heard of "Fractured Fairy Tales"!!! Well here is a parishioner's version called:

"Skewed Scriptures"

"Sometimes Life seems like nothing but missed 3-point shots. But, don't worry. God is a very forgiving and loving coach---He'll play you the whole game."
