Contemplative Prayer Stations

This contemplative prayer station lets people make word puzzles ranging along any topic using scrabble pieces. It can be done with a group of people making one large puzzle, or individually with each person making their own or adding to the community puzzle.

Directions for Leadership:
This station is very flexible. It can be used for a number of topics, and can be done in a group or individually. These directions are for our relationship with God, but you can do them with words to describe community, Jesus, Faith, etc… Set up a round table or two rectangular tables together, with chairs. Place on the table scrabble letters from several games so you have enough for several people, and make sure to put a table cloth on so that the piece stand out. You can also hit a few thrift stores for scrabble games, that way you don’t have to sort the pieces back out afterwards. Print a few copies of these Directions and place on the table as well.

Quietly invite God to be part of the activity you are about to begin, asking that he lead your thoughts.

Create a word puzzle (AKA: cross word) that describes your relationship with God.

Please do not take letters out of other puzzles.
