Praying As Jesus Taught Us
'Stillness and silence run counter to our culture, and many of us therefore find them unnatural and rather threatening or uncomfortable. Yet it is so often in the discipline of stillness that God can engage with our spirits and be known to us.' These sixteen liturgies all include periods of space with help and encouragement for using stillness as worship. Together they form an extended reflection on the Lord's Prayer, but each service also stands on its own, using one of the sixteen words or phrases from the prayer as a starting point for reflecting on a different aspect of faith.Each service also includes 'liturgical conversations' through which individuals' thoughts and reflections can be voiced corporately. There are times of intercession and singing, with suggested hymns, and passages of scripture. Photocopy: Permitted

Ask Me Another: A Bible Quiz Book
How well do you know the Bible? For most of us the answer is probably not as well as we think we do. There are all kinds of facts, details, people and events that get forgotten, and to many the Bible is a closed book - with huge swathes rarely (if ever) read. This new book of quizzes from bestselling author Nick Fawcett effectively whets the appetite for more. Few of the questions are easy, but after trying the various quizzes a few times, the Bible will become no longer a closed book but God's living word.

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.
