Practice Prayer with Kids at Home: Magazine

Reimagine Prayer with Your Children: A Creative Journey of Faith at Home

Prayer isn't just something that happens at meals and before bed—it’s a lifestyle of being aware of God's presence and communicating with Him throughout the day. Practice Prayer at Home (Volume 2 of Imagining Worship with Kids) is an art-based magazine designed to help families grow in praising, listening, and seeking God together.

Why the “At Home” Practice?

Children are naturally curious, creative, and spiritually wise. This resource moves away from rigid scripts, and instead invites families to engage with God through their senses and imagination. Whether you are gathered around the kitchen table, tucked in for bedtime, or finding a quiet moment in a busy afternoon, this volume provides the tools to make those moments sacred.

Inside Volume 1: At Home

Specifically curated for the "Practice of Prayer," this volume includes:

• Art-Based Exploration: Engaging activities like "Prayer Poster" craft that turn creativity into a form of prayer.
• Theological Nuggets: Simple, profound explanations of what prayer is and why we do it, written in language kids (and parents!) can grasp.
• Embodied Rhythms: Activities that involve the whole body - from "Look Up" postures to breath prayers - helping children connect their physical selves to their spiritual lives.
• Story & Song: Original poetry, songs, and "Word and Wonder" stories that spark deep conversation and reflection.
• Flexible Timeframes: Whether you have 5 minutes for a quick table conversation or 30 minutes for a deep-dive art project, these resources fit into your family's real-life schedule.

Part of a Larger Journey

Practice Prayer at Home is the first of two volumes dedicated to the spiritual practice of Prayer, and is accompanied by the companion volume, Practice Prayer at Church. This project is part of a comprehensive 9-practice framework from Imagining Worship with Kids, a collaborative initiative focused on intergenerational faith formation.

1. Worship
2. Prayer
3. Wisdom
4. Humility
5. Examen
6. Hospitality

Each of the 9 spiritual practices will feature two dedicated volumes:

2. At Church: Empowering children to find their place in the body of Christ.

Empower your children to lead, wonder, and grow.
