After this lesson, how would you answer the question: Where is God?
How does it make you feel to know that God's love follows you wherever you go?
What to Remember:
We cannot escape God’s love
Getting Ready for Prayer
(Optional)
Given that we cannot escape God’s love:
Do you think God’s love is hanging from your eyelashes right now? Try to look.
Do you think God’s love is tinkling the bottom of your feet right now? Try to look.
Do you think God’s love is snuggled between your fingers right now? Try to look.
While you think about these questions: stand up, feet together, arms out as wide as possible, eyes up to the ceiling for prayer together:
Closing Prayer
Invite the students to pray with you as you read the prayer below.
Holy God, we know that you are present with us everywhere and at all times. Make us aware of you and your love. Open our minds, our hearts, and our lives to know you more fully. Thank you for camp and for bringing us here to learn about you and about ourselves as your children. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
