This past Sunday we celebrated our Preschool Faith Milestone event and it was a big success! This event is always one of my favorites and the families always seem to enjoy as well.
We begin our time together with an opening lead by me. I intro the idea of prayer, teach a song and explain the stations. We then break the group up into three small groups and send each group to one of three stations. Our three stations include:
Fun with Forgiveness-at this station children learn a little bit about how when we mess up, God forgives us with the help of bubble popping and dry erase market demo.
Prayer Pouches Make and Take-at this station the children get to make a prayer pouch and select pictures to put inside that they would like to thank God for.
Prayer Posture-After playing some dress-up, children learn that there is no right or wrong way to pray.
Hands up,
Hands folded,
Spoken, sung, standing, kneeling, God hears our prayers all the same! We also share the story of the prayer pretzel and have a snack at this station. And of course, we make sure to take a picture for their milestone memory books!
After all the stations, we come back together for a closing led by me. At our closing we learn about the word "Amen" and play an Amen game. We wrap up by making one last project, a prayer bracelet. Selecting a bead for each member of their family and stringing them on a pipe cleaner, the children make a tangible prayer reminder that they can take home. We finish off the bracelet with a jingle bell to represent Amen!
