Most churches are committed to providing a Biblically-based nurture programme for their children, but many rely on the goodwill of parents and other adults to supply the leaders and helpers. This book is designed to help the non-specialist understand the Biblical rationale for nurturing children in the Church and gain the basic skills needed to be an effective leader. The material covers: the importance of children's work and understanding the learning process; using signs and symbols and involving children in prayer and worship; spiritual development and growing in faith; making the Bible accessible; enhancing our storytelling and other practical skills; the wider community and management; and health and safety issues. Each section includes introductory notes, Bible readings, thinking and discussion pointers, case studies, practical activities, checklists and short prayers. All the material has been thoroughly field-tested, both with groups and individual readers.
