Keeping Sabbath [Multiage]

Book excerpt: Sabbath is intentional time taken by individuals and faith communities to integrate the Divine with humanity and creation. Practicing Sabbath leads us to a fuller understanding of who we are as children of God. Activities in this book are designed for an adult who is working with two or more children, ages 5-14, so that these children can experience practices of faith together. These activities take into consideration the needs and abilities of all the children involved and recommend steps for leading and learning across the age span. An additional chapter suggests how older persons can also be incorporated into the group. Practicing our faith is a lifelong process. When completed, this series will offer 24 practices in 10 different life settings. This series can be used at any time or stage in your life.
