• Experiential activities for celebrating the saints
• For use in churches, schools, camps, and home settings

Many of our experiences in life happen when several generations are together - at church, at home, in our communities. Often we only celebrate the saints on All Saints Sunday or when a particular saint is commemorated in a secular way. This volume in the Faithful Celebration series focuses on some well-known and some not-so-well-known saints, many who are not all officially "sainted" but certainly having lived a life of faith under difficult circumstances. Each event recalling a particular saint includes key ideas, a cluster of activities to experience the key ideas, 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 with the Saints includes activities to celebrate Patrick of Ireland, Nicholas of Myra, Joan of Arc, Sebastian of Gaul, Absalom Jones of Philadelphia, Julian of Norwich, and Emmegahbowh of White Earth.
