Hidden Cross Hunt & Prayer Walk for Families

Hidden Cross Hunt & Prayer Walk: An Activity for Families

For most of us who serve churches, our programming looks very different this year in the midst of social distancing. I created this hidden cross hunt and prayer walk for children and families at my church.

Directions:

-Go on a walk in your neighborhood.  Bring a phone or iPad to take pictures. 

-While on your walk, find 12 “hidden crosses.”  These are “crosses” that show up in the patterns of a fence, concrete, etc. 

– Read the provided prayers as you find each cross.

Prayers for Your Hidden Cross Prayer Walk

Cross 1: Dear Jesus, thank you for loving us. Help us to love others like you do.

Cross 2: Help us to have faith and be brave even when we’re scared.

Cross 3: Remind us to be patient with others and with ourselves.

Cross 4: Help us to be aware of the needs of others and help when we can.

Cross 5: Remind us to care for the poor and the sick as you showed us.

Cross 6: Remind us that having faith is not always easy.  But, it is always right.

Cross 7: Help us to remember that all we have is a gift from you.

Cross 8: Remind us to share what we have so that everyone has enough.

Cross 9: Guide us to love and honor every person as you love all people.

Cross 10: Remind us to stand up for others in acts of justice and fairness.

Cross 11: Help us always to be on the lookout for signs of your love.

Cross 12: Hear our words as we pray the prayer you taught us

Recite The Lord’s Prayer together.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us                                                And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

  23. Hot spot er en meget smertefuld tilstand for hunden, og derfor v?lger man som dyrl?ge ofte at berolige eller bedove hunden, inden behandlingen starter. Malet med behandlingen er at kunne komme ind til huden for at kunne dr?be de involverede bakterier, sorge for at beskytte saret under helingen samt at fjerne kloen og smerten. Hot spot behandles ved, at omradet klippes rent for har. Derefter renses saret grundigt i kirurgisk s?be for at dr?be de mange bakterier, som findes i saret. Afh?ngig af sv?rhedsgraden af hudbet?ndelsen, kan dyrl?gen v?lge at behandle med s?bebade, cremer, antibiotika og binyrebark hormon. Det er vigtigt, at hunden bliver standset i at foretage yderligere skade pa sig selv, sa det er ofte nodvendigt at beskytte saret. Det kan betyde, at hunden skal ga med krave eller sok pa i en l?ngere periode, idet et hot spot kan tage op til 14 dage at hele. Chloe Elliot Reiser

  28. I am raising a boy for the past two years, he was was being raised by a diabetic grandmother who loved to bake sweets and she died with diabetes, heart issues, and other health problems. His mother and grandfather are also diabetics. He was overweight when he came to me and slowly am helping him change his diet…we watched That Sugar Film a few weeks ago and he got a lot from it. This school year I am making his lunches and sending them with him instead of buying school lunches, which are loaded with carbs and processed foods. He has lost 15 pounds since March on a lower carb diet and learning to like healthier foods. For other parents who want to send lunches there is a new type of lunch bag that has freezable gel built in, you can pop it into the freezer overnight and put the lunch in to keep it cold assuring nothing gets warm. That was one of my concerns before when I was buying his meals at school. I bought the bag at Walmart, not sure if other stores sell them yet. Wally Archambault Strauss
