Living Stones: Complete Resource Book, Year A

Susan Sayers has created a complete and inspiring all-age, all-stage package to help parishes get the very best out of the Common Worship Lectionary. Week by week the pressured and busy priest, reader or teacher can anticipate and rely on a fully integrated and thoroughly worked-out programme. Living Stones is brimming with ideas, outlines, intercessions, mini-dramas and much more.

Living Stones is an entirely practical book which explores the texts of the new Lectionary, teases out the meaning and opportunities inherent in them and then offers an abundant fund of ideas, suggestions and encouragement.

For every Sunday Susan Sayers provides:
a Thought for the Day
extensive Notes on the Reading
Discussion Starters
background material for an All-age Talk
All-stage plus All-age Ideas
a complete set of Intercessions
suggestions for music

In addition there are fully worked-out programmes for pre-school children, children and young people. Living Stones, like everything that Susan Sayers writes, is for those working at grass roots level.

The three books described here are extracted from the teaching section of Living Stones and amplified to provide a complete programme every Sunday for each age group. They aim to nurture faith and provide a transition into adult worship.
