This prayer station, instead of lighting candles in memory of people who are thirsting, we poured a glass of water for those who thirst.
God's Family Tree. We are adopted, grafted, into the family of the King of kings. We are children of God. This station is a place kids come to reflect over who they are in Christ. The world may label you many things. But who does GOD say you are? The instructions are to simply take a label and ask God which words of identity He is speaking over them. Write them on the label and hang it on God's Family Tree. Remember who you are! Remember WHOSE you are! And now for those of you who are interested in how this station was put together... The tree is actually from a manzanita branch that a friend picked up from her family's home in the mountains not too far away. You can buy them here however. We simply "planted" it in a painted terra cotta pot. ... With rocks in the bottom for weight and to steady the branch.... My 10 year old son helped with this. Then we sprayed that foaming gap filler stuff from the hardware store into the pot. Be sure to purchase the Big Gap Filler (1" +). It's great stuff. It sprays right in and dries firm. We let it dry (and expand) over night. Then cut out and shaped it. And then using a glue gun and Dollar Store fake moss, covered the top with green and brown moss. For the labels, we purchased some here. But once they got here I realized I could make them for much cheaper. So I just drew the outline of a gift tag onto brown card stock and found I can get 10 per page. So, with a little time and effort, you can make each label for less than 3 cents! Punch a hole at the top, and string a piece of thread for hanging.
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6.8) For the past month, we have been focusing on stewardship and creating a new vision statement. For the past four Sundays…

One of our new world focussed prayer stations this term looks at hunger. You will need: A world map (I've labelled it with names of countries where there is famine and put some dots on it so that the children can find the countries) a pot of uncooked rice a spoon a plate instructions (below!) Look at the map and see the places in the world where people are dying of hunger. Ask God to send people who will help them and pray that the world will be a fairer place. Pray for charities who bring food and help to the hungry. Ask God to show you what you can do to help. As you pray, put a spoonful of rice onto the plate.
Prayer stations are a great way to teach your kids how to pray and give them focus as they pray.

While thinking about praying for the world, we are encouraging the children to think about those who live in poverty- in this country and in the wider world. We also want to encourage the children to think what THEY can do and to make their own contribution. Here is our poverty prayer station for this term... You will need: A money box A tin containing coins (I used quite a fancy one to reflect the riches some people have to share) Instructions (see below) •Some people do not have enough money to pay for food and a home. •Take a coin from the pot and hold it. As you hold it, pray that God will help us to share what we have with others. Put your coin in the giving box. If you want to you can bring your own coins to put in the box as well!

“What are students doing in the stations that are not the teacher-led station?” I field a lot of questions like this. Teachers want to know what types of activities I incorporate into station rotation lessons. Since my teaching experience is in English, I wanted to share some of my favorite station ideas to inspire teachers […]
