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.

The Eagle Song
(tom-tom beat)
Haven't you heard
Haven't you known (repeat first two lines)
The Lord is everlasting
This world is all his own.
Chorus
On the wings of an eagle
As it soars through through the sky (rpt)
We can fly, like the eagle
On His wings we're lifted high.
If we trust and wait on Him
If we trust, He shows the way.(rpt)
He holds us when we grow weary,
He helps us to run all day.
Chorus
Though we stumble and go blindly,
We fall down every day (rpt)
Our Lord sees clearly
And with Him, we know the way.
Chorus

Don't be Afraid!
Simplified Lord’s Prayer
Simplified Lord’s Prayer
When I put my hand over my heart, I remember to show you my love.
When I put my hands together, I ask you to come and make everything right.
When I touch my mouth, I ask you to give us the food we need.
When I bow my head, I say sorry for the wrong things I’ve done.
When I lift my head, I know you forgive me.
When I open my arms, I ask you to help me be friends with everyone.

This Week's Vine - some fresh ideas to create, construct and carry on
1. Make a cross - to remind us of Jesus death on Good Friday. Maybe use pliable wire, tin foil, or find some sticks in the garden and join them together using wool or kitchen ties. You might like to stick the cross on some cardboard or paper and add some drawings or words like - "Jesus died for our sins" or " Jesus loves me".
2 Eggciting! Children love Easter egg hunts, especially the younger children. A hunt could be organised in your garden or in your house and perhaps shared online by video ( or Facetime) with family or friends. Before doing so, explain to the children the significance of eggs in our Easter celebrations. Discuss the different creatures that come from eggs like chickens, other birds, fish, butterflies etc.. and that on Easter Day we remember that Jesus was raised from death to life and that we can have new life by following Jesus.
