Not Sunday, Not School!: Through-the-year Children's Programmes for Small Churches

Not Sunday, Not School!: Through-the-year Children's Programmes for Small Churches

by EleanorZuercher (Author)

Synopsis

The Guildford Diocese's annual enquiry in 2004 found that 49 per cent of children who came along to a church activity were attending mid-week. Many churches, particularly those with small congregations and even smaller numbers of children attending on a Sunday morning, struggle with the traditional model of Sunday school. This book sets out to show that, with a bit of lateral and creative thinking, even in a small church children's work can become vibrant and successful. The book is packed with ideas and activities for an alternative model to traditional Sunday school and to help integrate children's work with the main life of the church community.

Author Bio
Eleanor Zuercher has recently given up her job to train as a teacher. She lives and works in the West Buckingham Benefice (a group of six rural parishes) where, for the past four years, she has been running workshops for children aged 3-11. Alongside this she oversees all the children's work for her parish, planning and taking services, assemblies, occasional RE lessons, acting as a liaison between the church and the local infants school and developing other links with the community. In 2004, the rural affairs magazine Country Way published a feature on her work.
