I Desire to be Baptized!
A resource for families, leaders of children’s and family ministries, and kids of all ages to use in preparation for the celebration of baptism. In the Anglican church one piece of the Baptism Liturgy is the Baptismal Vows. This resource can be used to help older kids understand what they are saying yes to when they say “I DO!” to each of these vows. For children baptized as infants, this resource can be used as they grow to remember and celebrate what their parents vow, “I DO” to on their behalf.”
Target group: Children answering for themselves, their parents and godparents
Share the Feast
Share the Feast is a resource to help church leaders facilitate an interactive, two-hour class for elementary children and their parents. Children who already receive communion, those who are preparing to, and those whose families are new and curious about sacraments in the Anglican Way are all welcome to participate. This resource deepens understanding of and reverence for the gift of the Church’s family meal. Prepare for the Feast (below) extends the learning for families at home.
Target group: Children in Grades 1-5, with parents, godparents, caregivers
Prepare for the Feast
Prepare for the Feast is a resource that explores ways children can be ready to meet Jesus at the table each week through inward preparation, as well as in service to others. This lesson takes about one hour, including time to make communion bread together.
Target group: Families with elementary-aged children
