Hi Anna,

Hope you are well?
My class is doing a google meet session on Friday.
I think it will be great to start with a pray.
Is there any pray that you could recommend for our class at this time?

Kind regards
Samuel

You could send them out a shared google doc and get them to write their prayers on it then put them onto a google slide.

Start with a lovely prayer about Gods love, then read the reading for the day which is 

Mt 20:1-16

"For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out early in the morning to hire labourers for his vineyard. After agreeing with the labourers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard...And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing...He said to them, 'You go into the vineyard too.' And when evening came...those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. Now when the first came, they thought they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius."

Then get students to reflect by putting their hands up. And tell you what they got from the little reflection.

Finally put up their spontaneous prayers and get them to pray them.

Finish with a song like the blessing. Find a shorter version. 

This will be a great little liturgy and the kiddies will love it. If you would like me to share with a google slide liturgy that you can change to add your info into I’m happy to.

God bless,

Anna Francis

Please make a copy and leave the original as it is : )
