It looks thin for the price, but it is packed full. Strictly speaking, this is a Sunday School book, but there is much that can be very easily adapted for the All Age Context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe premise of this book is a situation all too familiar in many churches: a single Sunday School class with few members across a wide age-range, several of whom are not present every week. It's difficult to maintain continuity and dispiriting. This book contains 12 stand-alone sessions, which are designed so they can effectively be split into two or four sessions each, depending on the length of time available on the Sunday. In theory, you could have a year's worth of sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat's great about this book is that the authors create an age-appropriate 'liturgical' routine which includes opening and adding to special group scrapbook each week. So there's a skilfully developed combination of the familiar and the new. This gives continuity whether or not children have missed a week. In the All Age context, this could be adapted to a monthly service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso brilliant is that they offer explicit instructions, telling you what to say and teaching you how to listen. Of course, this can be adapted. You don't have to follow it precisely, but the effect is like a very good recipe book. You can tell these recipes will work, but they can also mined for ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach chapter is headed with the theme, passage, Bible verse, linked stories from news and culture and theme. The sessions are clearly and helpfully divided into 'Way in', 'learn from Jesus', 'Tell... Consider... Explore... ... the Story', 'Praise', 'Explore other people's stories', 'Respond', 'Review', 'Way out', 'Follow up'. In fact, if you only took a few of these headings and regularly framed All Age Worship according to them, the book would have been money very well spent. 5\/5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRichard Dormandy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom Country Way - June to September 2013\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany rural churches struggle to run meaningful children's groups, but resources are now becoming available that give real help - with material that is suitable for small numbers, a wide age-range and limited resources (especially in terms of leaders); \u003cem\u003eFew Children, Great Opportunities\u003c\/em\u003e is one of these.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sessions are designed for church-based groups, but are equally suited to those that meet in homes or even for individual families. Each is based around one facet of God's character (e.g. peace, truth, love) and how this is relevant for a child's daily life. Although there are connections between the different sessions, they can be used in any order. All follow a similar pattern, and have at their core a short passage of Scripture around which the rest of the activities revolve. They include the careful use of stories and linked activities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery helpful guidelines are provided at the start on how to make the best use of the material, and the material is designed flexibly so that each session can be adapted to cover more than one week. The additional resources required are few and relatively simple, but will require access to the internet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile not rural in content, this is another useful tool for small rural churches in their ministry to children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviewed by Simon Martin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book was advertised in the January 2013 newsletter. It contains 12 stand-alone sessions for mixed age children's groups, each exploring a characteristic of God. It is published by Bible Reading Fellowship and costs 8.99. I began reading the opening pages of this book with some apprehension as some books seem to expect more time, or artistic ability, than I can offer. However I was encouraged by the tone and attitude towards children that came from the pages. There is a gentleness and yet an undercurrent of excitement about exploring who is God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI used the first session on a Sunday when I ended up with seven children ranging from a 3-year old with limited English to an articulate girl of 13, including a couple of very shy children and a noisy boy. As preparation I had already read the session and picked out what I would do in the 30 mins available. All of the resources needed I already had either at home or at church. Before the group started I quickly made up an example of the simple craft. It was accessible to all ages, though some needed more support but some of the older children were happy to help. The oldest children were up for joining in the fun and the youngest followed their lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey all seemed to get a sense of wonder from placing a drop of diluted food colouring onto paper towel and seeing how far it spread, like God's love spreading out. The small numbers enabled us to do this one at a time which allowed anticipation and each child to have their moment of full attention. They enjoy trying to fit under a duvet cover to represent being surrounded by God's love. The cups with hearts on were ideal for our worship time. Overall I found the material interactive and inclusive with some different ways of conveying God's love and our connection to it. I would need to work on ways to ensure the oldest ones have opportunities to learn and stretch themselves. As it stands I would say that 11 is really the upper age limit for this material. However by using a couple of leaders it would be simple to have deeper discussion with older ones as part of it. I was certainly grateful for the material which was ideal for a broad range of children, both in terms of age and temperament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviewed by Linda Hallett, Uckfield URC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2019-02-20T16:10:39+00:00","created_at":"2019-02-20T16:11:10+00:00","vendor":"Sue Price and Ruth Alliston","type":"Paperback","tags":["Children and family ministry","PDF"],"price":899,"price_min":899,"price_max":899,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":24431624880228,"title":"Paperback","option1":"Paperback","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781841018805","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":{"id":8945786290276,"product_id":2855024066660,"position":2,"created_at":"2019-02-20T16:11:23+00:00","updated_at":"2020-05-20T17:16:09+01:00","alt":null,"width":476,"height":676,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781841018805-l.jpg?v=1589991369","variant_ids":[24431624880228]},"available":false,"name":"Few Children Great Opportunities: 12 stand-alone sessions for mixed-age church-based groups - Paperback","public_title":"Paperback","options":["Paperback"],"price":899,"weight":241,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9781841018805","featured_media":{"alt":null,"id":3259468480651,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.704,"height":676,"width":476,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781841018805-l.jpg?v=1589991369"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]},{"id":24431653912676,"title":"PDF Download","option1":"PDF Download","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"down8805","requires_shipping":false,"taxable":false,"featured_image":{"id":8945836261476,"product_id":2855024066660,"position":1,"created_at":"2019-02-20T16:13:38+00:00","updated_at":"2020-05-20T17:16:09+01:00","alt":null,"width":476,"height":676,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DOWNLOAD8805.jpg?v=1589991369","variant_ids":[24431653912676]},"available":true,"name":"Few Children Great Opportunities: 12 stand-alone sessions for mixed-age church-based groups - PDF Download","public_title":"PDF Download","options":["PDF Download"],"price":899,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"down8805","featured_media":{"alt":null,"id":3259469299851,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.704,"height":676,"width":476,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DOWNLOAD8805.jpg?v=1589991369"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DOWNLOAD8805.jpg?v=1589991369","\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781841018805-l.jpg?v=1589991369"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DOWNLOAD8805.jpg?v=1589991369","options":["Format"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":3259469299851,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.704,"height":676,"width":476,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DOWNLOAD8805.jpg?v=1589991369"},"aspect_ratio":0.704,"height":676,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DOWNLOAD8805.jpg?v=1589991369","width":476},{"alt":null,"id":3259468480651,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.704,"height":676,"width":476,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781841018805-l.jpg?v=1589991369"},"aspect_ratio":0.704,"height":676,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781841018805-l.jpg?v=1589991369","width":476}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFew Children, Great Opportunities\u003c\/em\u003e contains 12 ready-to-use thematic sessions exploring the character of God through the model we see in Jesus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe programme is ideal for church-based children's work where there are small numbers of children and an age range from 3 to 11 years.

It looks thin for the price, but it is packed full. Strictly speaking, this is a Sunday School book, but there is much that can be very easily adapted for the All Age Context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe premise of this book is a situation all too familiar in many churches: a single Sunday School class with few members across a wide age-range, several of whom are not present every week. It's difficult to maintain continuity and dispiriting. This book contains 12 stand-alone sessions, which are designed so they can effectively be split into two or four sessions each, depending on the length of time available on the Sunday. In theory, you could have a year's worth of sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat's great about this book is that the authors create an age-appropriate 'liturgical' routine which includes opening and adding to special group scrapbook each week. So there's a skilfully developed combination of the familiar and the new. This gives continuity whether or not children have missed a week. In the All Age context, this could be adapted to a monthly service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso brilliant is that they offer explicit instructions, telling you what to say and teaching you how to listen. Of course, this can be adapted. You don't have to follow it precisely, but the effect is like a very good recipe book. You can tell these recipes will work, but they can also mined for ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach chapter is headed with the theme, passage, Bible verse, linked stories from news and culture and theme. The sessions are clearly and helpfully divided into 'Way in', 'learn from Jesus', 'Tell... Consider... Explore... ... the Story', 'Praise', 'Explore other people's stories', 'Respond', 'Review', 'Way out', 'Follow up'. In fact, if you only took a few of these headings and regularly framed All Age Worship according to them, the book would have been money very well spent. 5\/5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRichard Dormandy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom Country Way - June to September 2013\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany rural churches struggle to run meaningful children's groups, but resources are now becoming available that give real help - with material that is suitable for small numbers, a wide age-range and limited resources (especially in terms of leaders); \u003cem\u003eFew Children, Great Opportunities\u003c\/em\u003e is one of these.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sessions are designed for church-based groups, but are equally suited to those that meet in homes or even for individual families. Each is based around one facet of God's character (e.g. peace, truth, love) and how this is relevant for a child's daily life. Although there are connections between the different sessions, they can be used in any order. All follow a similar pattern, and have at their core a short passage of Scripture around which the rest of the activities revolve. They include the careful use of stories and linked activities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery helpful guidelines are provided at the start on how to make the best use of the material, and the material is designed flexibly so that each session can be adapted to cover more than one week. The additional resources required are few and relatively simple, but will require access to the internet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile not rural in content, this is another useful tool for small rural churches in their ministry to children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviewed by Simon Martin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book was advertised in the January 2013 newsletter. It contains 12 stand-alone sessions for mixed age children's groups, each exploring a characteristic of God. It is published by Bible Reading Fellowship and costs 8.99. I began reading the opening pages of this book with some apprehension as some books seem to expect more time, or artistic ability, than I can offer. However I was encouraged by the tone and attitude towards children that came from the pages. There is a gentleness and yet an undercurrent of excitement about exploring who is God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI used the first session on a Sunday when I ended up with seven children ranging from a 3-year old with limited English to an articulate girl of 13, including a couple of very shy children and a noisy boy. As preparation I had already read the session and picked out what I would do in the 30 mins available. All of the resources needed I already had either at home or at church. Before the group started I quickly made up an example of the simple craft. It was accessible to all ages, though some needed more support but some of the older children were happy to help. The oldest children were up for joining in the fun and the youngest followed their lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey all seemed to get a sense of wonder from placing a drop of diluted food colouring onto paper towel and seeing how far it spread, like God's love spreading out. The small numbers enabled us to do this one at a time which allowed anticipation and each child to have their moment of full attention. They enjoy trying to fit under a duvet cover to represent being surrounded by God's love. The cups with hearts on were ideal for our worship time. Overall I found the material interactive and inclusive with some different ways of conveying God's love and our connection to it. I would need to work on ways to ensure the oldest ones have opportunities to learn and stretch themselves. As it stands I would say that 11 is really the upper age limit for this material. However by using a couple of leaders it would be simple to have deeper discussion with older ones as part of it. I was certainly grateful for the material which was ideal for a broad range of children, both in terms of age and temperament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviewed by Linda Hallett, Uckfield URC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}

As Christians, we believe that God calls us to meet with Jesus and allow him to change our lives. God is committed to us and, when we choose to follow him, we too must be committed - to God and to one another.
