The Prayer Plate

The Prayer Plate Gathering Box gives your family the opportunity to better understand your "neighbor." In becoming aware of the blessings and challenges others might face, our children develop the gift of empathy. Kindness in our kids doesn't just happen; it is the result of intentional moments with parents and other adults who talk about it, teach it, and model it.

This box includes everything you need to set an extra place at your table for a special "guest" who will become present through intentional conversation and prayer. Choose a "guest" from the 25 cards included in the box and have your child/children use the dry erase marker to write the title of your guest on the Prayer Plate provided (they can decorate it too!). The talking points on the back of each card are meant to be used to engage in intentional conversation to better understand another. There is also a prayer and action step to give your family the opportunity to continue to notice and serve your "guest" in whatever way possible.

May this prayer practice bless your family!
