These imaginative yet accessible suggestions take in key events in the Christian calendar, from Advent and Christmas through to Lent and Easter, and also cover selected feast days and secular dates, as well as periods of particular relevance to children and families. The ideas included here, which incorporate prayers, scripture passages and thought-provoking excerpts from Amoris Laetitia, will inspire all those who help make parish life so spiritually rich and rewarding.
