Written especially for young children studying Christianity as part of their National Curriculum syllabus, attending a church service, or who belong to a church-based group, this book is designed to instil a sense of belonging. It can be used in a teaching situation or given to the child at the church door. The child is taken through the various services which he or she might experience. Services covered include Baptism, Thanksgiving, Communion, Confirmation, Marriage, Funeral, Morning and Evening Prayer, Family Service, Crib service, Pram service, Christingle, Mothering Sunday, Toy service and Pets service. Keystage One requirements for Knowledge, Understanding and Significance have been taken into account as each service is explored through artefacts and their symbolic meanings, Bible passages, prayers and things to think and do. This book is suitable for children to read by themselves or to use with an adult.
