Chapel Prayers

This week in chapel (5^th-12 grade), we had a prayer service.  We sung and spoke a little bit about what prayer means, then we invited the kids to come to the front and write prayers on colored pieces of paper and pin them to two big boards.  

“Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together.  I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.”  Psalm 34:3-4

Here are some of their prayers:

Praises:

Thank you for walking with us this morning and thank you for helping me pass the sixth grade.

Thank you for giving me friends.

My auntie and cousins just turned Christians.

For becoming me.

He is a faithful God. He never lied to me, neither has He disappointed me.

Thank you for my mother.  She’s always there for me and loves to serve you.  I want to live to be like her one day.

Freedom!
