My Communion
Book
Since the introduction of Common Worship, demand has
been extremely high for material to help parishes use Common
Worship with children. Designed to meet that need, this
fully-revised edition of My Communion Book helps children
gain a better understanding of Holy Communion.
This all-age resource for children and families is primarily aimed
at 4 to 8 year olds. It can be used initially as a sharing book,
adult and child reading together, but children may use it at times
on their own. Taking the child through the service, the book
explains key words and asks questions that relate directly to the
child, helping them to engage with the service of Holy Communion in
a fun, interesting and meaningful way.

My Baptism Book
My Baptism Book aims to help children understand one of
the most important days of a child's life. It is a beautiful
personal reminder of this special day and one that a child can
return to again and again. It can be used by adults and children
together, or in more formal baptism preparation and includes a
number of inspiring ideas on ways to use the material creatively.
An ideal gift for children aged 3+.

The Communion Cube
Aimed at younger children, this fun and robust cube introduces
to the child to the communion service in a fun and simple way. As
popular with the adults as it is with the children, the cube
unfolds six times to work through the entire service. Fun
illustrations and full colour throughout make for a great teaching
aid to stimulate children in church.

Come
and Join the Celebration
Come and Join the Celebration helps adults and children
to explore the service of Holy Communion together - helping
everyone involved to participate more fully. The book provides
guidance on how to help children understand the liturgy, activities
related to the service for use in church with 2-6 year olds,
resource sheets for 7-11 year olds and ideas for additional uses. A
total of 50 photocopiable activity sheets are included. Come
and Join the Celebration is written by John Muir, recently
retired as Vicar of Sowerby in Wakefield Diocese, and Betty Pedley,
Parish Education Adviser (Children) for the Missionary Diocese of
Wakefield.
"Come and Join the Celebration is the plea of many churches
inviting children and their families to gather in worship. Using
John and Betty's enormously helpful book will be an invaluable tool
as churches seek to make the plea a reality."
Revd Mark Beach, Chaplain to the Bishop of Wakefield and author of
Using Common Worship: Holy Communion.
