Things to Make and Do Anytime: Creative Activities for Children's Ministry
In the church calendar, we celebrate two special seasons, from Advent through the Day of Epiphany and from Lent through the Day of Pentecost. But much of the year is called ordinary time, time in which every Sunday we celebrate the resurrection and the coming of the new creation. The word ordinary has a rather commonplace connotation. It is normal rather than special. But in the life of faith it is often in the ordinary that the extraordinary is encountered. Activities in Things to Make and Do Anytime are grounded in the ordinary. They offer children a way to take time from their busy schedules of school, music lessons and sports to deeply experience God.
