Hope is in our Hands: Lessons & Activities about Hunger for Children & Youth
This collection of resources is sponsored by the Alliance of Baptists (Alliance) and produced by Seeds of Hope. This year the Alliance has enabled Seeds to pull together a collection of children’s sermons, dramas and activities from the last nine years of Sacred Seasons, a quarterly Seeds worship resource. The materials in this packet are gifts from ministers, writers and artists who believe strongly in our quest to help congregations to regularly incorporate hunger and justice issues into their worship. We hope you find ideas here to help your children and youth respond to the hungry people in God’s world. (View entire Collection as a PDF)
