Sowing Seeds Book 1: Bible storytelling and worship with children, includes Advent, Christmas and Epiphany

Sowing Seeds is a creative and playful worship and Bible storytelling resource for babies, toddlers and children.

Sowing Seeds aims to encourage participation, discipleship and leadership from children's earliest years, using storytelling, singing, colour, repetition, art and lots and lots of movement! Peer-learning is actively encouraged with many opportunities for young children to learn from each other.

Groups are invited to build their own Sowing Seeds sessions, choosing from different options. Leaders can use the resource in all sorts of ways, including to create a service that follows the pattern of their church's worship or a simple midweek baby and toddler singing session.
