How Introduction to Sunday School Went

The children loved picking their own prayer rope

to hold and use.

We went over how to use them with our finger,

what the prayer could be like

Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me

or 

Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me a sinner

or 

Lord Jesus have mercy on me.

*

We said the prayer together after this.

*

Then we got everyone's names, birthdays, 

name's Saint and names day.

During this time my very wonderful Mom-helper

passed out crackers,

which was a great excitement to all :).

*

We had 5 kids today, two were unable to come.

I am guessing we will normally have between 5-10 

or so kids this year.

*

Then we read most of the book on the Jesus Prayer.

Everyone enjoyed the book and while I was telling it

I talked a little about what the book meant

and how the Jesus prayer is for all ages.

The kids really liked this book a lot and it had great pictures.

One thing I like about this book is how it shows

kids of all ages, from about 3 or so to older/teenager, 

loving God and doing the Jesus prayer.

Everyone was happy to be there

and it was a really enjoyable time!

I am looking forward to next week's class,

on the church new year!
