an inspiring reading of this famous Christian prayer, with beautiful images of falling autumn leaves.A question to ask children after the film:-
What might the rising leaves say about prayer?
1. God is hearing our prayers (as the leaves rise our prayers are going to Him).
2. God can do anything, nothing is impossible for Him.
Opening Prayer for Class
(suitable for elementary/primary aged school children to say)
Thank you God for all the things you've made our world to be.
For every single living plant, insect, bird and tree.
Thank you God for all the people you have placed around us.
For every single parent, friend and teacher that we trust.
Thank you Lord for all the gifts you send to us each day.
For every single meal and snack, for cuddles, toys and play.
Thank you God for caring for us, we know you always see,
Our every need, our worries, cares, our laughter, joys and tears.
Thank you Lord that you're our friend, you delight in all we do,
Especially when you hear our prayers, and we give thanks to you.
Amen.
