Resources!!!!

I have been spending a good portion of my time lately updating the children's section of our library. There are all sorts of books to help you make faith come alive at home with your children, storybooks to share at reading time, books to help you help your child deal with grief and loss, and books of prayers and blessings to use as a family. Many of these books are listed in the box next to this post, but some others you might want to have a look at are:

When Good-bye is Forever by Lois Rock
Guiding Children Through Life's Losses by Phyllis Vos Wezemen, Jude Denis Fournier, and R. Wezemen.
Bless Us All by Cynthia Rylant
The Faith of Parents by Maria Harris
The Usborne Book of World Religions by Susan Meredith

I also keep my eye out for websites that might be helpful to you in nurturing faith at home. Some of my favorite ones are in the side box, but I did come across a few especially for the Lenten season. Take a look at www.domesticchurch.com/CONTENT.DCC/pages.dir/fridge.html#LENT for kid's lenten activities. They are a site to bookmark as they have projects and activities that change throughout the liturgical seasons. As we move toward Holy Week and begin thinking about Good Friday, check out www.cptryon.org/prayer/child/stations/indes.html for a children's experience of the Stations of the Cross.

There are lots of good resources out there. Let me know what you think of these resources and be sure to share what you might find!
