Colourful Creation is a feast of sound and colour, awe and wonder, complete with beautifully detailed illustrations by popular artist, Honor Ayres. A joy to read both out loud and individually, Lucy Moore brings to life the story of creation in a vivid and funny way. God created a colourful creation, a gift to enjoy, treasure and care for. This is a book to help children see the world that God made as their own responsibility and to play a part in looking after it.
Ideal for special events or after-school clubs, in this book you will find outlines for twelve two-hour sessions, picking up on Christian festivals and special days of the year including Advent, Easter, Harvest and Hallowe'en. Taking the idea of footsteps and journeying through the year, each festival is celebrated with ideas for warm-up activities, Bible basis, ideas for storytelling, drama, music, crafts, prayers and more.
Bursting with ideas to draw people of all ages together and help them experience Christian community outside of Sunday worship. The resource book contains 15 themed programme outlines, with ideas for creative art and craft activities, recipes and a family-friendly worship. Messy Church creates the opportunity for parents, carers and children to express their creativity, sit down together for a meal, experience worship and have fun in a church context.
Alongside the usual mix of creativity, fun, Christian hospitality and thanksgiving Messy Church 2 explores the importance of discipleship, faith development and training for leadership. The material includes many ideas for practical ways to promote a sense of fellowship and community. The book contains a further fifteen units of fun, food, crafts and mess, with a year's worth of material that your Messy Church will love. Messy Church 2 is also available as a PDF Download.
Drawn from all four Gospels, the pieces are 'unplugged' in that they get to the heart of the biblical text, reflecting the life of Jesus in action-who he is, what he said and what he did.
The first part examines what it means for the congregation to meet as a worshipping community, through six all-age workshops or activity mornings. The second part comprises a six-session course designed to help young people live out the Eucharist in daily life.
This book revises and refreshes both the text and the design of
Margaret Withers' hugely popular and successful course book, Welcome to
the Lord's Table, first published in 1999. The course book material
covers all the key elements of what it means to be on the Christian
journey and helps the child, together with his or her family and the
congregation as a whole, to move towards the child's Holy Communion.
The material is divided into ten units, with four opportunities to mark
the journey with the worshipping community as the course progresses.
There is an accompanying activity book for children to complete alongside the course. |
