Using Bible Memory and Family Prayer

Last night 33 adults and children gathered in the children's wing for our Wednesday night prayer time.
We had a great time of large group family worship time.  
Here is what the evening looked like...

First, we had a time of building with blocks (connection - this week's children's ministry story was rebuilding the tabernacle from Ezra)

Then, we read through some portions of the book of Ezra (You can check out the teacher resource page to see what passages we read)  

After that, we worked together on this week's memory verse, Psalm 95:6, 7a and looked at how we could pray this verse.  
- Praise God He made us, our parents and our children.  
- Praise God He watches over us and protects us as a shepherd watches over His sheep.
- Praise God He sent His Son to sacrifice His life for our sin and God's glory.

Finally, we closed with the song My God is So Big.

You can use all or some of these ideas in your own family worship...
