Song of Shelter

Song of Shelter

Read page 148 in The Peace Table or Psalm 91. Tell about a time when you were scared. Talk about things that help you feel safe.   Imagine being sheltered by a mother bird during a storm. As one person wraps a large blanket around their shoulders, everyone else crawls underneath like baby birds beneath the wings of a mother bird. Talk about what it feels like to be warm, dry, and safe.   Pray using a small blanket or towel. Say your prayers out loud or write them on pieces of paper and lay them on the blanket. After you pray, fold up the blanket or towel to show that you are giving these prayers to God.
