These latest editions of a classic leader's guide for Liturgy of the Word with children are completely revised and updated, containing many new ideas, imaginative activities and liturgy outlines.

Gather the Children offers assistance for adults who proclaim God's word to children from pre-school through grade six, with activities ranging from story-telling and singing to gesture, drama, group readings and art projects. It also introduces classic prayers, traditional devotions and customs, providing questions for reflection, biblical commentary and historical background to deepen the mature student's ù and the leader's ù understanding of the readings and the liturgy.

Based on solid scholarship, Gather the Children is also an invaluable resource for liturgy planners, presiders, RCIA teams, parents, teachers, religious educators, and anyone striving to develop a life of prayer nourished by the liturgy.
