The Liturgy of the Word with Children is a child-centred programme, which faithfully follows the Lectionary. You will find a complete but flexible scheme for celebrating the Liturgy of the Word for every Sunday and major feast of the three-year cycle. This entirely new book, like its immensely popular predecessor The Complete Children’s Liturgy Book, is the result of Katie Thompson’s long experience in her own parish, during which all the material has been tested and refined.
By faithfully following the principles outlined in the official guidelines, this book offers encouragement and support to all who are dedicated to sharing God’s Word with young people in a way that is real and meaningful. The Liturgy of the Word with Children is ideal for both inexperienced group leaders who are guided on every step along the way by the carefully thought-out sessions, and for the more experienced leader who will find countless ideas for teaching and inspiring the children. It can thus be used as a fully worked-out programme needing no further input, or as a valuable resource.
Each of the 163 sessions includes ideas for a visual focus words of introduction Gospel acclamations specially written for children to sing to well-known tunes – a CD of the music is included! a child-friendly Gospel reading a reflection on the Gospel an activity with photocopiable pages prayers of intercession
