Pocket Prayers

What you will need for pocket prayers:

Colored Construction Paper
Cardboard Toilet Paper Tube for each child
Wrapping Paper
Stapler
Markers
Scissors
Crayons
Glue

Directions:

Start by cutting the wrapping paper into a size that fits the cardboard tubes. Cut the construction paper in half lengthwise. Fold these pieces in half, and place one inside the other. Staple along the fold to form a book. Write "I pray for my church, my friends, and my family" on the booklet. Kids can draw pictures to go along with their prayers.

Give each child a piece of wrapping paper and a cardboard tube. Have them glue the paper to the cardboard tube. Set them out to dry. Have them draw a picture of their church, friends, and family on each page of their book. Roll up the books and place them in their "pocket" (toilet paper tube is their "pocket") to take home.
