Offering the Gospel to Children
Church education programs for children often substitute children’s Bibles for Holy Scripture and simple moralism for imagination. Gretchen Wolff Pritchard shows how to offer the gospel imaginatively to children, with practical ideas on children’s worship, liturgy, drama, pastoral care, and study of the Bible. The final chapter includes an exhaustive annotated bibliography of children’s books for the parish library, and resources for parents and teachers.
Learning to Love
Parents and children, friends and acquaintances, teachers and students learn from each other and, throughout life, help develop and refine the human capacity for love. Learning to Love illustrates this phenomenon in beautifully written prose and poetry by well-known author and children's minister, Gretchen Wolff Pritchard. Writing from her perspective as founder of The Children's Mission of St. Paul and St. James in New Haven, Connecticut, author Pritchard documents significant experiences in her life that formed her, and in so doing, brings the reader to new insights about her own life.

The pageants are for grades K-8, but one also calls for adults and teens.

Some churches adopt one pageant as an annual production; others try a different one each year. Pageant 1: “Good News of Great Joy” – This is the simplest pageant in concept and uses the Isaiah text of the prophecies with scenes of the Annu...

A book for all who are curious about how to become more in tune with the Spirit.
