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 current church Cycle copies 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 Phone Toll Free (800) 325-9521. Liguori also has a handout for older children. You could
call and ask for samples of both.
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/3292.htm
I
hope that this will help you. May God bless you.
The Holy Spirit will guide you,
as he has me. I promise.
Sincerely,
Joan Y. Edwards
