Contemplative Prayer Stations

Theme: reconciliation with self/physicality
Medium: chalk on manikins that have been spray painted with black chalk board paint
Idea Source: Youth Workers conference several years back

Theme: Passover/Obedience
Medium: A few 4x4’s built into a free standing doorway (or an old door in its frame braced upright), a large bowl of dark red paint and some paint brushes made out of branches. Make sure the “doorway” is over a tarp and that there is a bowl and towl in case it gets messy.
Idea Source: Jason Feffer from my Grad school cohort!

Theme: Holy Spirit/Breath of God
Medium: Fans dry erase markers for writing on them.
Idea source: I don’t remember… sorry.

Theme: Grief/supplication

Idea: Youth Workers conference

An Idea from a woman who attends Centrifuge:
A prayer session we did…we had awesome worship music on…and there was a row(s) of chairs and you all sat in a chair and had two boxes at each end. One box was full of things to pray/do and the other was where they went at the end of being passed through the line. The box of pieces of paper were filled with…things like: “tell God the things of your past that you need to talk to him about”  "praise his name out loud”  "pray for someone who has hurt you” …etc its amazing!

Theme: What kind of print are you leaving on the world?
Medium: Set up a large beach blanket on the floor with several large tupperwear bins (with short sides) filled with sand for people to run their hands through, or step on.
