Ready To Be Our Best
This Biblical Lenten Course has many questions but no written answers. These will come from the children themselves. Having shared the Scripture readings with children in his Bible class, Denis O'Gorman raised questions and asked them for their comments."The eagerness and the 'hands up' responses were amazing." With songs, questions and prayers, we hope that your Bible sessions for children will come alive as well.

Growing In Grace
Many churches have good provision for small children and for adults but there can be a great need where young people are concerned, with the motto often being 'Use them or lose them'. The themed sessions in this book help integrate young people into the main body of the Church, with each lesson using a story, relevant reading, illustration, activity, prayer and suggested song to underline a stated message. As young people are entering a new age of experience and awareness, they need listeners and interpreters to help them on their journey and to guide them in their adventures. Above all else, they need to know that the Church needs them and they also need the Church. This book addresses that need. Growing in Grace is drawn from the Torches teaching of the popular Searchlights programme.

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

Footsteps To Glory
Lent and Holy Week are important times of reflection. A well-acted and well-produced piece of drama can make a real difference in helping us all understand with greater depth the events that we focus on at this time.Bible-based, and drawing on the key messages from this key period in the Christian calendar, these dramas can be performed as stand-alone pieces to support a talk or sermon, used as part of a Lent series, or perhaps as a block of six or seven as a Good Friday presentation.Written by Peter Jackson, who was assistant editor of the theatre magazine Plays and Players, and who is also the author behind other well-known Kevin Mayhew titles, such as Star and the Stable, Acts of Faith, 25 Christian Drama Sketches, and The Coming King, these sketches will challenge and provoke all who either take part in them, or see them performed.

And The Coming King will help you see it all in a wonderful new light.Imagine, then, the Marriage Guidance for Mary and Joseph when they face their particularly unique set of pre-natal problems. Then there are all those unexpected guests turning up at Jesus' birth in The Surprise Breakfast. Later on, John the Baptist is busy Clearing the Way for Jesus' ministry. But that is only after the childhood, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus have been examined in Reunion, and finally his second coming in Sitting Tenants and The King's Return.Perfect for performance Sunday by Sunday from Advent to Epiphany, dramas to support specific sermons or talks, or even run in their entirety as a special Advent evening, The Coming King will refresh, inspire and challenge anyone who wants to take a new look at this important time.
