Michigan—Ruth Murdoch Elementary School in Berrien Springs recently completed the annual spring Week of Prayer. The blessings were many for those who presented and those who listened. The theme in the lower grades of K–6 focused on lessons from the life of Christ when He was on Earth.

Deborah Park and her sixth-grade class hosted the lower grades with the preparation and presentations done by the students. They created a middle-eastern tent in their room, complete with a stuffed camel and palms. Student guests drank grape juice and tasted Bible-time breads. Every day the students were greeted by "soldiers" at the door, and warmly welcomed by students dressed in biblical costumes. After each day's presentation there was also an interview with someone who had experienced or met Christ. Singing was especially fun using instruments like the ones used in Bible times.

The junior high meetings were also led out by students who focused on using Bible characters to help their peers consider the all-important question, "Are you ready for Jesus to come?" Their week culminated with an agape feast and rich testimony time.

All who participated enjoyed God's rich blessings as we worshiped Him during our school day. Many joined in prayers and support as we helped our children discover the joy of complete surrender to God's will.
