More about these coloring pages

My 7-year-old, Emma, spent Saturday morning coloring the praying family page while asking questions about prayer. The images feature a family kneeling together and another scene of them sharing a meal, which connects to the idea that prayer can happen anytime. As the Bible says, 'Where two or three gather in my name' (Matthew 18:20), it's a beautiful reminder of how we can pray as a family. These pages are great for Sunday school or even a quiet afternoon at home. Just gather some crayons and let the kids express their creativity while they learn about the importance of prayer in our lives. You might even find them discussing how they can pray together as a family after coloring!
