Lord’s Prayer Tracing Cross | Another Lent Resource

As Lent approaches it’s important to offer ourselves fresh opportunities to connect with God. It is an important part of the Christian calendar to prepare us for the journey to the cross and resurrection.

The Lord’s Prayer Tracing Cross is much more than a craft – it is a spiritual practice that everyone can do.

The idea is simple: using the tracing cross as a guide, you say the Lord’s Prayer while moving your finger along the outside of the cross, touching each phrase of the prayer as you go.

The visual and tactile nature of the tracing cross creates a special experience of prayer.

There are many ways to invite people at your church to join in using the Lord’s Prayer Tracing Cross. Use it for SRE, Kids Church, Messy Church or even in your family service.
