Tapestry of Faith: Sing to the Power: A Social Justice Program for Children Grades 4-5

Spiritual Preparation

Find a place where you can be quiet with your thoughts. Close your eyes and breathe deeply for several minutes, perhaps repeating a word or phrase to separate yourself from the activities of the day. When you feel settled and relaxed, consider:

  • How would you complete the phrase "I am from... .?"
  • What aspects of your heritage do you consider to be gifts? What aspects of your heritage do you consider to be burdens?
  • In what geographic location are you most rooted?
  • Where are you rooted theologically?
