"Fragrant" prayers.....
OK....
yesterday, for GA's we started a unit study on Greece and how our missionaries ministered to the people through the different Olympic events in 2004.
We talked about Greek mythology, specifically, the Labyrinth, and, so, I decided to plan a Prayer Labyrinth, complete with candles, prayer stations, stories about the missionary.
I got the idea from a friend of mine who had done this at his church with the whole body, but, I was concerned that it would be too much for the girls??
IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!
The girls really got into the "worship" attitude that I'd hope for. I think it was really powerful.....we spent the whole time in prayer.
I loved the symbolism of the fragrant candles....how are prayers are so very fragrant to God.
I hope the girls see that corporate prayer is important in the body of a church and it doesn't have to look a certain way.
What a blessing.....
Our motto verse:
"I have fought the good fight. I have won the race. I have kept the faith."
2 Timothy 4:7
