Many of you will be working with children’s groups in churches, schools and across your communities over the Advent and Christmas period. There are lots of resources available online and in other publications.
One resource that you may be interested in using and sharing with your children’s groups has just been published by Barnabas in Schools .
They have produced a series of films about the preparation for the coming of Jesus Christ, anticipating the celebration of his birth in Bethlehem 2000 years ago. You can watch and share these HERE.
The Barnabas in Schools Prayer
Jesus, you chose a child as a model for adult maturity and of God’s presence among us. Thank you for our schools with their teachers and children. Together may they create: safe places for lives to flourish; happy places for wonder and discovery; hopeful places of peace and healing; stimulating places of learning and laughter; places where everyone feels valued and respected; places that offer security and stability to all; places where both old and young can find purpose and direction in life. Amen
