Rural Children, Rural Church: Mission Oportunities in the Countryside (Sure Foundations)

Rural Children, Rural Church: Mission Oportunities in the Countryside (Sure Foundations)

by RonaOrme (Author)

Synopsis

Children make up nearly 20 per cent of the rural population. This short, accessible book offers practical resources and ideas to help churches build an effective children's ministry in a rural setting. The ideas are drawn from churches and communities in rural areas where children's work is starting to grow. Rona Orme offers realistic and creative ways of engaging with children in the community by encouraging churches to make the most of opportunities to: share the Church's year with the community and the community's year with the Church; reach children and their families at significant rites of passage; enable the Church to be a gathering point and contributing partner in the community. Each chapter contains inspiring case studies and thought-provoking questions for discussion.
