St James’ Church:
Are working with the local school and will set up three to four prayer stations in the church on 25/26 May for the children to visit the church over these two days.  We were particularly taken by the wailing wall, the sorry bin, letting go and being King or Queen for the day which are ideas from the Thy Kingdom Come resource pack.  We are doing lots of publicity and are hopeful that the children might invite their parents to experience these prayer opportunities when they pick up their children after school.  We will be giving away a short business card sized prayer to everyone who comes.
