Contemplative Prayer Stations

This contemplative prayer station allows people to think about what God is already doing in this world, in their community, and in their lives. It ends up as a huge brainstorming session in a lot of ways; as the end you have a large piece of paper with a with some pretty amazing stuff on it.

Directions for Leadership:
Tape a large piece of butcher paper onto a table and place chairs around it along with some witting utensils and the directions below.

In the middle of the paper write this: What in the world is God doing… through us, his people?

It might be prudent to write down a few examples to get people going. IE: “God is saving my marriage!” “God is using our church to feed the homeless!” “God helped me be kind today!”

Directions:

There is a large sheet of paper on the table. Take time to brainstorm the question written on it. Write as many things as you can think of.

When done think about these questions for a while….
If we, the people at this worship gathering, are part of the body of Christ, what are some ways we are being Christ to others already?
What more could we be doing?
What are you going to do about it?
(you don’t need to write anything down here, just think about it, and then do it!)
