Power-Packed Prayers!

Friday : 9:45 AM and 11:00 AM : Room 11

Secondary Field Trip
Grace Fox
International Messengers

Many kids growing up in Christian homes learn to pray at an early age: “Now I lay me down to sleep….” Sound familiar? We become stuck in a comfortable pattern and forget about the power that’s available when we learn to pray more effectively. This workshop teaches about the power that’s unleashed when we pray according to God’s will. It shows kids how to use God’s Word to pray and leaves them with practical examples.
