Nearness Prayers
Nearness prayers
Give each child a pencil or crayon and a sheet of paper. Invite eveyone to close their eyes and think of a time when they have felt God very near to them. Suggest that each child ask God to help them to remember one of these times. The leader should not give any specific suggestions of when anyone may have felt near to God.
Now, on your piece of paper, see if you can draw or write something to illustrate or describe that special time.
When everyone is finished, invite those who would like to share what they have written or drawn, or talk about their time of feeling near to God. You will find that once one child has shared, it becomes easier for others.
Finish by praying together thanking God for being close and asking Him to be with them during this coming week.
Read Psalm 139:1-12

Top Tips on Learning With Children
Top Tips on Learning with Children
1. Get passionate about the Bible yourself.
2. Explore the Bible as one big story that has many little stories included in it.
3. Arouse children’s curiosity in our mysterious, awesome and complex God.
4. Avoid trying to feed children simple, ‘pat’ answers about God.
5. Choose a range of activities that use different intelligences.
6. Organise a variety of activities, but make sure they all point in the
same direction to the same truth.
7. Use learning dynamics other than just the leader or teacher talking to a group.
8. Encourage children to ask their honest questions of God.
