Prayer Laboratory week 2 - Sunday 28th February 4pm

God in the brokenness

This week's Prayer Laboratory will include praying through God's telescope; scrunchy stretchy prayers; and playdough prayers. All you'll need, apart from plenty of imagination and curiosity, is some playdough (or plasticine, modelling clay or even a big blob of bluetack)!  There's a recipe below if you'd like to make your own.

Last week we asked our prayer experimenters to share a word or two that summed up the best thing about the Prayer Laboratory.  They said new, revived, conversation, meeting new people, space, wonderfully different, love, fun, think, noticing things differently.  Why not come and explore with us?

Come and join us on Sunday at 4pm - contact Kat for zoom details. Everyone is welcome!



Playdough recipe:


Ingredients

  • 8 tbsp plain flour
  • 2 tbsp table salt
  • 60ml warm water
  • food colouring
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil 

Method

1. Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl.

2. Add the water, food colouring and oil into the flour mixture and mix with a spoon until it comes together.

3. Turn out the dough onto a floured surface. Knead together until it forms a smooth dough.  You can add a few extra drops of food colouring or a sprinkling of glitter at this stage, and knead it in.

4. Store in a plastic sandwich bag (with the air squeezed out) and keep in the fridge.

5. Bring it along to the Prayer Laboratory!
