Prayspace

Since the summer of 2011, we have been running Prayspace, in our local schools. Recently it has become very popular and now forms a core element of our work in both primary and secondary schools.

Prayspace can be set up to suit the needs of the school. This can be anything from a pop-up station in a corner of the school to a whole hall or classroom set up with 14 different stations. Whatever the size we fill the space with exciting, intriguing, interactive and beautiful creative prayer activities. Covering a variety of themes including Thankfulness, and Forgiveness, Change and World (to name just a few), these quiet, still spaces are loved by students and staff alike. Each prayerspace is tailored to the facilities available and the age range and abilities of those taking part. Prayspace in a primary school may be for a few days or for a secondary school a whole week. Each class has a lesson finding out about prayer, who prays, and where they pray. After the introductory discussion the pupils have freedom to explore each station for themselves.

Along with BCY staff, volunteers from local churches help form the teams of Prayspace Guides that act as facilitators for students throughout the week.

Take a look at the Prayerspaces in Schools website for more information.
