All Age Everything (Revised) *Green Cover*
There are many differing opinions on children and their ability to worship. Some churches aim for frequent all-age services as their way of encouraging children to encounter God, whilst others rely on the groups that children are sent to during the service. Like all areas of ministry with children, all-age worship is not easy - there are barriers to face, mistakes to make, and lessons to learn. This revised edition of All-Age Everything is full of ideas and suggestions to make all-age worship a true inter generational worship experience. It looks at every part of an all-age service, from how to go about the initial planning, followed by tips for welcomes and beginnings through to endings and blessings. The ideas can be adapted to suit your own church setting, but most of all they make meeting God fun for the entire church family, however young or old.

Off-The-Shelf Assemblies - New Edition
The main aim of collective worship is to search for the meaning and purpose of life. This book provides material for secondary school assemblies that addresses the spiritual perspective within a Christian context, linked to the central teachings in the Bible. The assemblies are designed to raise those important questions that all of us, at some point, try to find answers to. Each assembly has been tried and tested in a secondary school, and contains a talk, prayer and suggested hymn. Each assembly can be used in its present format or be incorporated into a longer assembly. Alternatively, they are useful resources for discussion in PSHE, religious studies or citizenship lessons.
