Not all children are ready to give something up for the season of Lent or to commit to doing something in service to others. However, ALL children are capable of communing with God in prayer. For this special Ash Wednesday service, ALL Pearl Kids and Youth are invited to join Pastor Mindy in an activity where each of us will compose our very own Lenten Breath Prayer. Breath Prayer is an ancient contemplative prayer practice that is intended to nourish awareness that God is as near as the very next breath that you take. Pastor Mindy has taught and facilitated this practice with children and adults of all ages. The work of forming the prayer is very simple. However, the impact on the heart and soul can be profound. Once each child has composed their own prayer it can be prayed again and again by memory—with perhaps a bit of guidance from parents and caregivers for the little ones. 

Parents of our younger children are encouraged to join along. Your participation alongside your child will help them to stay present and get the most out of the activity. Having markers, crayons, colored pens and paper on hand will also be helpful.
