In this book, four experienced authors and practitioners offer intergenerational approaches for engaging with questions of death and life in a safe and supportive setting. The material guides church communities who are dealing with the death of loved ones and other situations of loss in talking together as a church family, in applying the Christian message of the resurrection in challenging situations, and in listening to each other and developing their own insights. The opening chapters offer an easy-to-read overview of issues of death and dying, and why this is such an important topic for churches. Part 2 consists of a series of five short theological reflections, exploring traditional images and the language that Christians have always used when talking about death. The five Messy Church sessions in Part 3 continue these themes, each offering material for a two-hour all-age Messy Church service followed by a meal together.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295036420469,"sku":"9780857468239","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780857468239_ad6fe3f3-dbd9-4e3e-8ddf-bd50939cc6a0.jpg?v=1786015688"},{"product_id":"9780857463791","title":"Messy Prayer","description":"Equipping your Messy team to pray and encourage others to do so, both within and outside the Messy Church context - Communicating prayer as a concept - Praying as a team in advance and on the day - Prayer ideas for the activity time, celebration time, and at home as a family - Ways of praying the Lord’s Prayer - Ways to reimagine other traditional prayers - Creating a prayer space - A Messy Quiet Day outline","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295167492469,"sku":"9780857463791","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780857463791_25b5e8f8-557a-4b92-985c-30664df9bfe6.jpg?v=1786015660"},{"product_id":"9781800390928","title":"Creative Ways to Tell a Bible Story","description":"This resource offers a treasure trove of ideas for opening up a Bible story (the way in), telling the story (the way through) and exploring the meaning of the story (the way out), including suggestions for reflecting on how to apply the story to our lives today.
