God Speaking
Communication is one of the most high-profile features of our modern life. There have never been so many ways of being in touch. The technological media for communication are becoming ever more sophisticated, 'smart' and widely available. But they can be a mixed blessing. Advent is an opportune time to consider this vital facet of human experience and to do so in the light of a belief in God.This study course is intended as a way in to doing just that. It explores what it might mean to become friends and followers of the God of Jesus Christ, the supreme communicator. Its focus for that exploration is the Letter to the Hebrews in the New Testament. For Hebrews brings us face to face with a Jesus Christ who 'is the same yesterday, today and for ever' (Hebrews 13:8) and who constantly invites our response.

Performing With Puppets
Puppets are becoming an ever more popular medium for education and entertainment in schools, churches and theatres.Their larger-than-life characters and visual appeal fascinate audiences, young and old alike.This DVD and informative handbook take you through the art of bringing puppets alive. With clear instructions, step-by-step guides to rehearsal and sketches to put each step into practice, this manual is ideal whether you are working alone or setting up a team of puppeteers.From the smallest glove puppet to all kinds of large stage puppets, and from simple storytelling to team puppetry behind a screen, our essential how-to guide will help you to unlock the potential of this versatile art form.Puppets have some unique abilities and purposes that stem from the fact that they are able to act like people without actually being people. In education, this is important because the puppet can carry a burden which a person is unable or unwilling to carry.When a puppet is wrong, it is funny, but not embarrassing. When a puppet is sad, it invites empathy, but not sorrow.When a puppet asks a silly question, children feel good because they know the answer. The puppet doesn't feel stupid. It is surely this thick-skinned quality which makes a puppet such a useful tool in ministry. Featuring a range of useful sections, including using your puppet, starting to talk and behind the screens,this great new resource takes you through the "dos and don'ts" of puppetry to insure you are using this popular method to its greatest potential. Complete with an accompanying DVD of instructions and suggestions,this guide is a must-have for anyone involved in children's ministry.

Rejoice With Me
'Christ dwells in you in your present situation.He does not wait for your perfection.He accepts your brokenness as his home.'Psalm 23, 'The Lord is my Shepherd', describes the psalmist as a trusting sheep, travelling through both pleasant and difficult terrain, always in the reassuring presence of God. The psalm is for all of us, yet when troubles come - which they inevitably do - rather than feeling God's loving presence we may start to doubt his love; instead of feeling safe, we experience fear, guilt, hurt and loneliness - the loneliness of a lost sheep.In Rejoice with Me Annie draws on the parable of the lost sheep and other imagery from the Bible and the natural world. She writes from her own personal experience to offer reflections, prayers and questions for self-development for anyone with an interest in considering life's difficulties from a biblical perspective.Ideal as a spiritual accompaniment for individuals as well as pastoral support groups and churches asking how to meet the needs of individuals and communities and how to live lovingly and with integrity in the twenty-first century.

Alive And Active
Key Stage 1 - 2Jesus used storytelling in a vivid and imaginative way and the stories he told give a clear code of conduct; a blueprint for living which children can recognise. This book explores the modern-day relevance of some of the gospel passages. Each chapter is based on a message drawn from the gospel, with stories placed in a contemporary context using settings and situations familiar to children, to demonstrate how the teachings of Jesus apply to their everyday lives. There is an introduction for teachers and catechists and prayers that reinforce the point illustrated by the stories. Initially created for assembly, this book also has a place in the classroom and in catechetical situations, including children's liturgy and junior church. Living the message of Jesus is a far more important then talking about it - we need to break the Word for children and help them see it is, in truth, something alive and active. Contents Jesus calls us to makes a differenceJesus calls us to take notice and do something to helpJesus asks us to do little thingsJesus asks us to look for people who need careJesus tells us that we must not judge or be prejudicedJesus tells us to think for ourselvesJesus asks us to put others firstJesus asks us to recognise that we are all a mixture of good and badJesus tells us that we must use our giftsJesus asks us to look for something special in other peopleJesus calls us always to forgive
