Parents may feel that Sunday is their only time to be together as a family and are hesitant to spend an hour separated from their children in Sunday school. Side-by-Side is a book of Sunday school lessons that allow parents and children to learn about the Christian faith alongside one another. Also an excellent resource for mid-week programs and for intergenerational or family retreats.

Teaching the Lord's Prayer examines the Lord's Prayer and how it relates to questions such as: What does it mean to worship God? What is sin? How do we ask for forgiveness and forgive others? Children will learn the meaning of the parts of the Lord's Prayer as well as learning how to say it. This study, for children ages 7-8, is divided into six lessons. Each lesson closely examines a part of the Lord's Prayer and includes activities and exercises that reinforce the child's learning experience. Included are activities, puzzles, and music that are all reproducible.

"Can you give me the book that will tell me how to DO Christian education?" The Nuts &amp; Bolts of Christian Education is designed to answer the most frequently asked questions by new as well as veteran teachers and leaders. Even though most churches provide teacher and leader training at least once a year, generally these one- or two-day sessions are unable to answer every question that arises during the year. The Nuts &amp; Bolts of Christian Education is a practical guidebook that leads new and experienced teachers through the challenging, and sometimes confounding, landscape of the education ministry of a congregation. This is not a collection of lesson plans--it is a chock-full survey of nearly every aspect of Christian education one could imagine. DOING Christian Education starts here.
