This is a teaching manual for all those seeking to welcome children to participate fully in the Eucharist. The introductory chapters explore the background to the question of preparing young children for Holy Communion, give guidance on preparing the congregation, training leaders and involving the family, and includes a guide to using the course. The course itself comprises ten flexible teaching units plus four punctuation points to mark the journey. The material is designed to last approximately three months overall, with the children receiving Holy Communion towards the end of the course. Each unit is divided into two distinct forty-minute sessions and includes aims and objectives, biblical basis, teaching time, focus on the Church, prayer, activities and suggestions for music. A separate do-at-home activity book is available to accompany the main course book.

Welcome to the Lord's Table

Most youngsters who come to church are the children of the adult congregation and, depressingly, nearly half of our churches claim that they have no children at all. If we look beyond Sunday morning, however, we see a more optimistic picture. There are children attending parent and toddler clubs, midweek activities and Church schools, or who come to special festival services. There are children at school carol services, or guests at baptisms, weddings or funerals, or who use the church hall for sports or drama, belong to uniformed organisations or visit a church as part of an RE lesson. This book is about enabling those children to hear the Christian story. It aims to provide throught-provoking guidance to explore the wealth of opportunities for evangelism among children, and a training base for clergy and children's workers.
