Resource of the Month:

Creative Ideas for Children’s Worship: Year C by Sarah Lenton now completes the set of three books that correspond to all years of the Revised Common Lectionary. This series offers a session for every Sunday (plus Feast Days) for engaging children in creative ways with the Sunday Gospels. Cross-referenced with scripture readings, these ideas are perfect for children’s chapel, the classroom, or intergenerational gatherings. Each week includes prayers, the gospel reading of the day, scripts for presentations, games, activities, and downloadable (on CD) cartoons and illustrations to use.
