What We Do in Church: An Anglican Child's Activity Book

I bought this for my 7 year old niece now that she can read I wanted something that would explain what was going on in a kid friendly way. We are members of the Episcopal church and this was perfect. It has little sketches through out that explain who all th "players"are. A friend who is a director of children's education at another church recommended it. They use it for first communion class. My niece now thinks she is so grown up with her own prayer book and she is better able to participate in the service.

This book is great for presenting what Anglicans/Episcopalians do in church.We are using it for supplemental Sunday School material and the childrenlove it.

This is a good resource for helping kids learn what to do in church and the process of things in church. The drawings are basic and good for kids of several ages. Activities cover a wide range of church activities and help bring understanding to the kids in a fun way.

it is an excellent book for children to understand the Anglican service. I would highly recommend it.

I came to the Episcopal church as an adult quite recently -very helpful and I can explain to my son and we can learn together.

This is your basic coloring/activity book. It certainly isn't worth the $8.00 list price. If you can get it for $3.50 or so then it will be worth it, if not then just make your own. It will probably be just as good & not cost you so much. I wish I could have seen it before I bought it, I would have skipped this one. I know there are others in the series about Lent & Advent & those might be worth the price but your child will learn the same stuff in Sunday school.

We bought the activity book for Lent last winter, and liked it a great deal. While looking for its counterpart for Advent, I saw this and wanted to try it. The pages are well done in terms of definitions and vocabulary (chalice, vestements, etc) it verges on pushing a lot of buttons in the (sadly) politicized garbage going on in the Episcopal church. Even though I don't necessarily believe that ordination of women is a salvative issue, and it's a personal worship preference, the book shouldn't be labeled "Anglican," it should be labeled "Episcopalian." It's misleading, as in this country, Anglican churches are (for the most part) adhering to the traditions of the early church in terms of who holds priest positions. You will love this book if you are a more contemporary Episcopalian, but if you are an orthodox Anglican, not so much.
