Hi
I'm doing a lesson on prayer this sunday for my 5-6th graders where we will talk about the agpeya. The thing is, I don't want to just throw verses at them or lecture them for 40minutes, I want them to be interested in the topic. Do any of you have a favorite sunday school memory specifically about prayer?  or favorite sunday school lesson in general? any ideas would help.

Pray for my weakness

    That prayer can shake buildings or prayer can move mountains!

    Thank you, that was exactly what I needed. I'm going to use your idea about prayer moving mountains and show a clip from the movie about St.Simon the Shoemaker and the Mokatem mountain moving.
    thanks for the inspiration!!!

    when i was 12 a teacher taught us this song she wrote, based on the psalms:
    sorry u'll have to write your own music; i don't think i can upload it!

    i love the Lord because He hears me,
    i love the Lord, He listens to my prayer,
    he listens to me every time i call Him,
    i love the lord for He is there.

    hallelujah (x3), i love the Lord for He is there.

    she only taught it once and i remember it more than 20 years later!

    mabsoota,
    wow that song must've made such an impression on you. i wish there was a way to learn the music that went with the words so I can teach it to my kids
    thanks for sharing it though

    just make up some simple music or use music like 'from every nation (min kull umam)' which you can download here
    http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Songs/Instrumental/The_Consolatory_Melody.html (here it's called from all nations)
    or a secular children's song like 'humpty dumpty sat on a wall', or any simple 4 line melody
    they both fit, with slight adjustments  ;)
