Junior Church report – 19th September

Hallowed be Thy Name

This week, as part of our series on the Lord’s Prayer, we looked at “Hallowed be Thy name”. We explained that it meant that God is so awesome and amazing, that even His name is special! There is something really amazing about the name of God and nobody else has God’s name. We talked about how it is at the beginning of the prayer, to remind us that when we pray, it is about God.

We remembered the very first time that we wrote our name all by ourselves. We got such praise! People were so pleased with us! Karen said that although that was a very long time ago for her, nobody ever praises her if she writes her own name now – although it is still an amazing thing to do.

So then we looked at some of the things that God has done or is doing, that are so everyday, and that we just accept or take for granted. We remembered that these are amazing things and wanted to praise God for them. We remembered that God made the wonderful earth that we live on. We remembered that God made people. We remembered that every year flowers turn into fruit. We remembered that God loves us.

Those things are amazing! And there are lots more amazing things that God has done that we take for granted. What would you like to praise God for today?

Our next meeting is on Monday 26th on Zoom – eat together from 5:15pm 🙂
