Children’s Liturgy Materials – Great Resources
Dear Children’s Liturgy
Leader,
The
following Gather the Children books explain all of the readings for each Sunday
of the liturgical year. I have found that I don't have time to do all the
readings and explain them in detail. So I just concentrate on the
Gospel. Another lady who does the liturgy, does
the responsorial psalm and the Gospel.
After I greet them,
explain what the Gospel is about, read the Gospel, and have them act it out,
then have them relate to it with their own experiences, and sing a song, my
time is up.
I used these books the first
few years I did the Children's Liturgy, but now I don't. It takes about 4
weeks for Amazon to send them. I would suggest you order one of the Cycle
C ones to see if you like it.

We give children these
handouts each Sunday: "Explaining God's Word." You can order as many
as you think you will need to hand to the children each week. Children
look forward to taking these home. Liguori Publications http://www.liguori.org/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=943
They also have one for
older children, but we have not used it. You might order one of each to see
which one is best for your age group.
Our religious education
classes send home a publication called “Catholic Corner,” J.S. Paluch Co., Inc. 1-800-566-6150 http://www.wlp.jspaluch.com/wlp/so_child_bul.asp?find_category=SCHILDWL&find_description=Children's+Bulletins&find_part_desc=
Maybe this will help
you. May God bless you.
The Holy Spirit will guide
you, as he has me. I promise.
Sincerely,
Joan Y. Edwards
