Many have heard the phrase, 'Children are the future of the church,' which is true. However, children are also the present of the church. This practical resource is filled with ideas to engage and involve children with worship in the church. It explores how participation in the Eucharist and other sacraments can enable children to experience greater depths of faith. Author Simon Rundell emphasizes sacramental worship with children, not merely for children. The book and CD include a wide range of prayers, songs, action responses, short talks and complete liturgies with visuals, videos and music suggestions, including:
A Nursery Rhyme Mass
Ideas for children's active participation in baptisms, weddings and funerals
