Bible Stories for All Ages, Year a: With Activities for the Very Young

A lectionary year's worth of Bible stories for children aged three and up that can also be used in intergenerational worship. Many of the stories are interactive and get children involved in the telling. Educators have found that this experiential way of telling stories helps children (and all ages) remember and integrate the stories far better than passive storytelling. Chosen from the well-loved Whole People of God and the "Age 3-5" level of the imaginative Seasons of the Spirit curricula, these stories make it easy to tell often difficult or complex Bible stories in a positive, clear, and uncomplicated manner. Reproducible activity sheets and suggestions for experiential learning accompany the stories. Small churches may find this package useful at times of intergenerational worship, when only a few children are present and there is no Sunday school class. Even though these stories are geared to a very young audience, leaders have found that telling these stories during a worship service helps all ages comprehend the message in a very enjoyable and deep way. A great asset to any worship leader or Christian educator's library. An easy-to-use index helps you find stories by scripture and theme. This is the second in a three-volume series that will cover all three years of the Revised Common Lectionary.
