Through the Year with Jesus!: A Once-a-month Children's Programme for Small Churches by Eleanor Zuercher
This title provides eleven two-hour workshop programmes on the life and teaching of Jesus, plus a five-day holiday club programme (which can also provide stand-alone workshops for the summer months). Each programme offers material for a range of practical activities including games, art and craft, drama, cookery and Bible teaching, plus ideas for an act of worship following a workshop session. Each session includes suggestions for age related programmes for 3-8s and 7-12s.This title includes material that complements popular book Not Sunday Not School!, which is currently being reprinted. It is suitable for adults working with 3-11s, such as church-based children's workers and clergy and lay ministers involved in the nurture of children in the church, particularly those working in the rural context. Following the success of Not Sunday Not School!, Eleanor Zuercher has developed a further year's worth of themed material, this time based on the life and teaching of Jesus. The programmes are introduced with helpful hints on how to run an effective children's programme outside of Sunday worship. The introductory material is followed by eleven themed workshop programmes and a five-day holiday club programme based on the 'I am' sayings of Jesus.
