Lent activities
Does your church run a Lent course? Who is invited? Are the children involved? Perhaps there are activities related to Lent in your children’s programme, but you do not think of them as a 'Lent course'.
This booklet is an attempt to capture in our children’s work that sense of structured preparation over a six week period which is a feature of the traditional Lent Course. Some of the material contains practical suggestions for activities with children, but many of the sections are sketches and focuses, rather than fully worked session plans - in this way they could perhaps provide inspiration for parallel adult sessions.
Alternative worship ideas for Easter
Worship ideas for an Easter Communion Service (following the structure of Common Worship, Order One).

Nativity notes
Here today - gone tomorrow !
We know that these days, often through no fault of their own, some children can’t be relied on to turn up every week over a rehearsal period – or even to turn up for the performance itself! What can be done about it?
