Dear God,

This church is a family.
Help us to learn together
To worship together
To share together
To play together
To pray together
To come together
And to reach out to everyone with family love!

Amen.

Short Closing Prayer

(for the end of a sunday school class)

Dear Lord,

Thank you that you promise us
That when two or more come together in Your name
You are with us.
Thank you Lord that you have been with us throughout this lesson
And that you are with us right now.
Inspire us as we leave this place
To love and serve You always.

In the name of Jesus.
Amen.

A thank you prayer to God for young children to say

(a prayer suitable to say with toddlers)

Dear God,

You made a brilliant world.
Blue skies and fluffy clouds.
Warm sun and night time stars.
Flying birds and swimming fish.
Tall mountains and deep sea.
Kind grandmas and fun granddads.
Funny brothers and caring sisters.
Lovely mummies and fantastic daddies
And wonderful me!

Thank you!
