Creative Ideas for Quiet Corners

It can be difficult to help young children find the space for personal prayer in their lives, between school and friends and church. It helps to show them that prayer doesn't just have to be for Sunday school, or when they're tucked up in bed.

Creative Ideas for Quiet Corners is designed to encourage children to find space for prayer by creating a physical prayer space in the home or at church that children can visit and enjoy. Each prayer idea uses simple but effective materials to create a quiet, reflective corner. The book also offers practical support to parents and leaders, so they can help children to move at their own pace into a sense of quietness and prayer. The foreword is written by Karen Bulley, Moderator of CGMC and Pilots Development Officer for URC.

Creative Ideas for Quiet Corners is ideal for children aged 6-10. It is also suitable for children's workers and can be used with special needs children. Churches who have used Godly Play may find this book useful. Equally, it can be used by adults looking for a focus for creativity and prayer.
