I thought I would share this with some of you in case you think your church might like to adopt the idea also. My friend Kim came from a church that had a prayer ministry for the kids. She in turn started the same idea here at West K. The basic idea is this, they took pictures of all the kids and had the parents fill out permission slips. Then they took the pictures, put them on a small card with the child's info: Name, address, DOB, grade, school and parent's name. Then this evening we had a special service where couples went up and picked a prayer card and will pray for that student all school year and into the summer. At the service she tried to get a boy and a girl each to represent lower elementary, upper elementary, middle school, high school and home school. They got up and just gave examples of things that they struggle with at their school at their age so we had ideas of things to pray about through out the year. We all ended up picking 2 cards and those that could not be there, signed a list and we picked for them too.
I just think this is going to be such a blessing for our children so it thought I would share it with all of you too.
