Friends –
It is hard to know what to say to and with children during times of national trauma. Please receive these two practices, “Snuggled Under God’s Wings” and the “Butterfly Prayer” for you to use with your families and congregations. Ministers and Children’s Ministers, please distribute freely to anyone who needs them, courtesy of Chalice Press.
When you don’t have the words to say, may these practices be comforting to the children entrusted to your care. Peace, peace, peace.
