The Contagious Classroom Prayer Course: Convincing Kids to Pray Now and Forever
One of the best gifts we can give to the students we teach, is the ability to communicate with God through prayer. The Catholic Church has a rich tradition of expressions of prayer that can have a powerful impact on the lives of those who participate in them. This course is meant to help you, the religious educator, convince young people to make prayer an important part of their lives both today and as grown adults. You won’t just learn how to teach the prayers, you will learn how to model a prayer life that young people will be excited to explore.
This course is only available for premium members of The Religion Teacher.
