SCHEDULE FOR NASHVILLE
Children as an Avenue of Prayer
(Sanctuary)
Nov 22 3:00 PM-3:50 PM
Nashville
“And a little child will lead them” (Isaiah 11:6). That’s how Scripture describes the coming of the kingdom of heaven. As parents we spend so much energy being our kids’ chauffeur, nanny, guidance counselor, disciplinarian, event coordinator, or traffic cop that we can lose sight of the holiness that lies within them. Come with (or without) your child(ren) of any age and practice gazing at the kingdom.
Naptime
(Sanctuary)
Nov 23 3:00 PM-3:50 PM
Nashville
Perhaps the most spiritual thing you could do right now is “take a nap.” Youth workers aren’t exempt from the sleep-deprived condition of our culture. Yet sleeping was an essential step back to spiritual and physical health when Elijah encountered God after being overcome by his situation and attempting to flee from his problems. The Sanctuary will provide a peaceful and quiet place for you to nap. When was the last time someone softly sang a lullaby for you?
