Magnet Words

A while ago I created my own set of words that could be printed on card or magnet sheet for prayer activities.

Here they are as a PDF and an editable Word doc.

You can print them on paper or card, or print onto magnetic paper, or onto adhesive paper and then stick onto magnet sheets.

BTW I'm a BIG fan of Magnetic Poetry and own lots of their sets. That's what is in the picture above.

 

Psalm 27 Prayer Stations

Last week my Port Philip East colleagues, Duncan Macleod, Anneke Oppewal and I hosted a Retreat Day for about 25 ministers and lay workers from our presbytery.

We began and ended the day with Psalm 27.  We offered several prayer stations along with both printed and projected versions of the Psalm.

We reflected on the imagery of Psalm 27 - light, shelter, singing, prayer, refuge, escape. We made prayers and listened to music, explored images and wrote reflections. There was space to be still and sit in God's presence. Later the three of us each spoke of practices that sustained us in life and ministry. Lots of conversation over a fabulous lunch. In the afternoon we gathered in small groups to reflect on our own sustaining practices. The day closed with a guided reflection led by Anneke.

Here is a PDF copy of the Prayer Stations:

We finished the day with the song "Be Our Light" based on Psalm 27 and written by David Macgregor and myself.

"Be Our Light" recording is on iTunes here.

I own a lot of Magnetic Poetry but I've also made my own. You can download my templates here.
