Thought of the Day: Prayers for children and adults

As someone who writes prayers and lessons for children and families a lot, I’m often distilling big concepts in to their smaller, easier roots for children to
understand. I’ve found this to be a useful spiritual practice as well. If we can understand what’s meaningful to us in ways that are meaningful, even to children, we will have found the essence. I wrote THIS pack of prayers
for families for back to school. Please read them and share them if you have children and are needing something to anchor you in the back to school time. Please also share them with any families you know who need an extra
boost. For all of us, I thought we might be needing this prayer, either now, or to tuck away for future reference:


A Prayer for When I’m Tired and Overwhelmed
When I’m tired I need rest for my body
And for my mind and spirit, too
God, please show me how to rest and space
Help me to find peace for my spirit
Peace for my mind
Peace for my body
Thank you for my breath
Thank you for my family
Thank you for your Spirit Amen

See you on Sunday at 11:30 for coffee hour! HERE’s the link.


For Discussion: Wednesday, July 29, 2020 at 7:00 p.m. Instead of discussing a whole book, we’ll take a look at the article “America’s Enduring Caste System” from the NYT. You can find it HERE. Join us. (Also, if you’ve not had a chance to take a look at the article, you’re still free to join the discussion.


See you soon,
Pastor Traci
