Seasons of the Spirit 2011

This Seasons Encore resource is uniquely designed to meet the needs of a leader with a group of up to 12 children between the ages of 6 and 8. Weekly resources begin to address the more abstract thinking skills of children in the early grades of school. Leaders will find easy-to-use dramas, stories, and activities that connect with real life and the eager minds of this enthusiastic group. Spiritual development is nurtured through ritual and encouraging relationships with peers and adults.

The Seasons Encore Multiage resource is uniquely designed to meet the needs of a leader with a SINGLE GROUP of up to 15 children between the ages of 5 and 12. The Multiage resource offers different age-appropriate options for engaging with the biblical stories and additional reproducible resource sheets. The Respond sections includes "activity zones" that address different ages, interests, learning styles, and abilities. For example, children can choose between an Art zone, Music zone, Outreach zone, or Quiet zone.

For the past nine years, this popular resource has been helping adults explore their faith. Adults enter Bible study from a variety of backgrounds and beliefs. Sessions invite adults to deepend their spirituality and explore their faith through activities and articles that encourage a rich engagement with all four of the weekly lectionary readings. Art images, contemporary writings, and consideration of current issues offer meaningful ways to link faith and life.
