Description: Faithful Celebrations by Sharon Ely Pearson -Activities for celebrating secular and sacred seasons of the year -For use in churches, schools, camps, at home FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Activities for celebrating secular and sacred seasons of the year For use in churches, schools, camps, at home Many of our experiences in life happen when several generations are together- at church, at home, in our communities. Holidays and family events are times for celebration, learning, rituals, food, and fun. This edition of Faithful Celebrations focuses on the months of January and February, when secular holidays can become times to think about how we live out the gospel message in celebrating national holidays with more than a day off from school or sending a greeting card. Each event to be celebrated includes key ideas; a cluster of activities to experience the key ideas; a list of materials needed; full instructions for implementation; background history and information; music; art; recipes; and prayer resources to use in a small, intimate, or large multi-generational group. For children, youth, adults, or any combination of ages, any of these activities can take place in any setting. Faithful Celebrations: Making Time for God in Winter includes New Years Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Super Bowl Sunday, Valentines Day, and Snow days.

It integrates well researched background resources, prayer, activities, and ritual to provide rich opportunities that invite us to bring our faith into action. Pearson helps her readers make full meaning of holidays such as Martin Luther King, Jr.s birthday by bringing alive the cloud of social justice witnesses for intergenerational engagement." -- The Rev.
