Her work with A Rocha provides the inspiration for this volume. The ‘Lenten journey’ here is not based on the Church’s lectionary but on a broader (quasi sacramental?) view of the relationship between God, humanity, and creation, which is focused in the Easter story. The work of A Rocha is basically to invite Christian communities around the world to engage with creation, to try to improve the ways in which humanity treats the environment, and to do so in practical and achievable ways. (My last parish had an example of their work: a piece of wasteland under a rather nasty flyover which was transformed into a little nature reserve.) Again, we have here 40 short chapters ending with short reflections.

The ‘Lenten journey’ here is not based on the Church’s lectionary but on a broader (quasi sacramental?) view of the relationship between God, humanity, and creation, which is focused in the Easter story. The work of A Rocha is basically to invite Christian communities around the world to engage with creation, to try to improve the ways in which humanity treats the environment, and to do so in practical and achievable ways. (My last parish had an example of their work: a piece of wasteland under a rather nasty flyover which was transformed into a little nature reserve.)

In your initial preparation you may wish to discuss with your church leader the preaching programme for the coming few months and see if any of the sessions are more appropriate for particular weeks.

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":"2025-01-14T13:21:42+00:00","created_at":"2025-01-14T13:20:50+00:00","vendor":"Sue Price and Ruth Alliston","type":"Paperback","tags":["Children and family ministry","Glassboxx","KCLC"],"price":899,"price_min":899,"price_max":899,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":54875724054908,"title":"Paperback","option1":"Paperback","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781841018805","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":{"id":8945786290276,"product_id":14961403494780,"position":1,"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":[54875724054908]},"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":1,"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":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781841018805-l.jpg?v=1589991369"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781841018805-l.jpg?v=1589991369","options":["Format"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":3259468480651,"position":1,"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.

In your initial preparation you may wish to discuss with your church leader the preaching programme for the coming few months and see if any of the sessions are more appropriate for particular weeks. Once prepared, however, a facilitator can hold a session over and use it at any later date if no children turn up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach session is flexible and can be easily adapted to the time available, whether 20 minutes or over an hour. If you only have a short session time, the material can be shaped into two or more sessions so that you are not wasting material.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmphasis is given to forming and growing a relationship with God and the people around us, and learning to serve God and each other.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMuch of the preparation for the session by the facilitator will consist of reading the Bible references, thinking through their own responses and becoming familiar with the options and ideas suggested.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe activities suggested, together with various options, can be customised to the numbers and ages of the group, even adapting at the point of delivery. It may sometimes happen that all the items prepared do not get used on a particular day. This shouldn't be regarded as a waste of time or effort, as these items can often be used or adapted on another occasion, and will save preparation time later on.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach session includes ideas for home follow-up that can be suggested to parents, but the whole session can also be adapted to be used at home by families who want to set aside a time to connect with God and each other. See the section headed 'Using the material at home'.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive attention is given to developing an awareness of the mystery and wonder of God and finding meaningful ways together to celebrate him and express love for him.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEveryone is encouraged to discover God's character through the actions or teaching of Jesus, find out how people have responded to God in the past (both people in the Bible and in more recent history), discover people and organisations today who are responding to God through love and action and consider their own response.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eEndorsements\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is a treasure trove for all who struggle to provide meaningful times for small and fluctuating groups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Catherine Kite, Faith Support Officer, Mothers' Union\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eMedia reviews\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinistry Today - Summer 2016\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is simply outstanding. 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"}

We are also given the background behind each cross and details about the life of the Church in that part of the world. The book has been divided to represent six different regions: Africa, Middle East, Asia, Australasia, the Americas and Europe. Another useful bonus is that all of the crosses are available as colour illustrations on the BRF website, and can be downloaded to use in presentations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSection two contains teaching materials for leaders and teachers so that a programme can be built around the different crosses.

For churches there is a holiday club outline programme, several Sunday school or children's club outlines, with ideas for all-age worship, discussion starters and craft ideas for producing the different crosses. Although the idea of producing 40 crosses as a craft project sounds very mundane, they have succeeded in coming up with a wide range of mediums including clay, straw, metal, fabric, wood, paper and card.

The book has been divided to represent six different regions: Africa, Middle East, Asia, Australasia, the Americas and Europe.

For churches there is a holiday club outline programme, several Sunday school or children's club outlines, with ideas for all-age worship, discussion starters and craft ideas for producing the different crosses. Although the idea of producing 40 crosses as a craft project sounds very mundane, they have succeeded in coming up with a wide range of mediums including clay, straw, metal, fabric, wood, paper and card. For school use the material has been divided into key stages 1 and 2, with plenty of ideas for collective worship.

Every Christian carries a map, a mental image of their journey through life, created from their Christian tradition, their cultural background and their understanding of the Bible. Most Christians will also, at some point in their life, begin to question their map – causing them to ask, ‘Is this all there is?’ and ‘How did I get here?’ Mary and Charles Hippsley help us to identify our faith map, including the unexamined assumptions that underpin it. Then, drawing on a range of sources of wisdom including personal experience, they gently encourage us to allow God to expand our map when we find that our faith doesn’t match up with the reality of life.

Every Christian carries a map, a mental image of their journey through life, created from their Christian tradition, their cultural background and their understanding of the Bible. Most Christians will also, at some point in their life, begin to question their map – causing them to ask, ‘Is this all there is?’ and ‘How did I get here?’ Mary and Charles Hippsley help us to identify our faith map, including the unexamined assumptions that underpin it. Then, drawing on a range of sources of wisdom including personal experience, they gently encourage us to allow God to expand our map when we find that our faith doesn’t match up with the reality of life.
