Summary of Citywide Children’s Meeting Fellowship
Regarding Lessons on The Lord’s Prayer.
New Series:
The Lord’s Prayer
We have decided NOT to cover the last two lessons in the Parables Series. During our district-wide + Rosendale fellowship tonight, there were reservations about covering the next two lessons in the Parables series The Parable of the Unrighteous Judge and The Reward of the Kingdom According to His Grace. There are spiritual concepts that are difficult for young children to understand and grasp. These lessons have been removed from the website.
However, because the lessons present the matter of prayer, we thought to pivot to the Lord’s Prayer lessons instead to bring out this burden.

The Lord’s Prayer – A Model: God’s Need and Our Need (Week 1 of 3)
This lesson will be split into three weeks as follows. Try to engage the children and draw out their understanding of prayer and what they think.
Week 1: Approach + Content up to I. A (Your name be sanctified) – THIS WEEK
Week 2: Content I. B (Your kingdom come) and I. C (Your will be done)
Week 3: Content II. (Our needs)

A Model: Our Relationship with God and Man (1 of 2)
We can cover this lesson in one week. Try to engage the children in conversation while covering the points in this lesson. They may have applicable examples.
January 19, 2025
A Model: Our Relationship with God and Man (2 of 2)
We can cover this lesson in one week, especially since the two examples about forgiveness were recently covered in the Parables series.
See if the children have examples of forgiveness, either forgiving someone or being forgiven.
This lesson is from the angle of prayer. It is hard to forgive someone. We need to pray for the Lord to help us forgive someone from our hearts. We can also pray to be forgiven.

TBD. We might not necessarily cover a lesson, but rather incorporate some points and verses in the singing time.
