  Peter And The Children

  $17.95

  Effectively communicating with young people is vitally important — we are constantly challenged to share the story of God’s love in a way that really connects with them. Using puppets is an increasingly popular method for establishing a rapport with children and capturing their attention. Puppets are much more than just another gimmick — because children (and adults, too!) carefully listen to and absorb the messages presented, they can be a very useful teaching tool.

  If you are interested in trying this captivating approach in your congregation, then Peter And The Children is just the resource for you. H. Burnham Kirkland has created 66 short pieces perfect for “children’s time” in worship services or Sunday school classrooms. Employing witty dialogue between a presenter and a hand-held puppet named Peter, the frequently humorous and always instructive scenes can be used as written or to help generate ideas for your own presentations. Kirkland writes in a direct style that’s easy for young people to understand, and makes the Christian faith relevant to their lives.

  Some of the presentations include:

  * Will Roast Pig Bring Us Luck?
  * A Direct Line To Jesus
  * I’m Allergic To That Word “School”
  * Weather Or Not
  * How Do You Catch The Christmas Spirit?

  “The creative task of a worship leader requires useful resources, both practical and spiritual, for use in public worship as well as personal devotions. This volume provides a source for meditation, prayer, and fellowship with God and the people of God. The genius of the book is couched in the connection Kirkland makes between his own spirituality, the poetry of the biblical texts, and the spiritual quest of the worshiper and the worship leader.”
