Our Review

This comprehensive resource offers fifty-two complete, hands-on programs designed to guide children through the entire liturgical calendar, from Advent through Kingdomtide. Each session provides active learning experiences that connect young participants to the spiritual rhythms of the Christian year, transforming abstract liturgical concepts into tangible, age-appropriate activities. The programs cover both major holy days and ordinary time, creating a continuous thread of faith formation that mirrors the church's annual journey.

What sets this collection apart is its practical approach to making the liturgical calendar accessible and meaningful for children through movement, crafts, and interactive storytelling. Church educators and volunteer leaders will find this an invaluable toolkit for building a cohesive children's ministry program that deepens with each passing season. The carefully structured lessons ensure that even the youngest congregants can participate in the rich traditions of their faith community, creating lasting spiritual foundations through the rhythm of the church year.
