Our prayer boxes are touring the diocese during our Year of Prayer, and recently spent a week at St Aldhelm's school in Shepton Mallet.
During the week, Revd Gill Sakakini led worship with the children. They took turns to delve into the box and draw out an object out before discussing what it might mean to them. Teachers observed that while doing this the children were very thoughtful and moved to express thanks to God.
Revd Gill recommends the prayer boxes and said, ‘The Prayer Box activities brought fresh and fun ways to think about prayer, embracing both quiet personal talking with God and interactive ways of praying in groups in embodied ways. The blow up globe was particularly inspiring and memorable!’
