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"

The Anglican Digest is a quarterly religious magazine in the United States providing information related to Anglicanism, including news, essays, book reviews, and devotional material.

This quarter's periodical should be in your mail soon.---Look for it!

This free gift is for your exhortation, edification, and comfort. READ IT!!! If you like it, send them a contribution.

We are sorry to announce that Ray Kaufman passed away on May 4th, after an extended illness. He will be missed by all.

Information on his service is to come.
