On each Sunday, the author has chosen a specific story to go along with the Old Testament, New Testament and Gospel reading. Each Sunday has a printed collection, a synopsis of the particular story, and a one paragraph comment that ties in the story with the passage it is intended to interpret. It is available for borrowing through the Extension Services department of the Union-PSCE Library. A leader would need to go the Library and check out the particular book to be read and then practice reading the story or telling it aloud. Some adaptation might have to be made for those that use other Lectionaries, but frequently, what is used one Sunday in the Episcopal Lectionary might be one of the passages used in the Revised Common Lectionary the next Sunday.
Children love stories, and stories can be wonderful vehicles to tell a truth .
The stories that the author has chosen are from a wide variety of cultures, written for a variety of age groups, and in general, expose anyone to the great treasure that exists in children s literature for the life of the church. The Media Resource Center is a department at the William Smith Morton Library of the Union Theological Seminary and Presbyterian School of Christian Education.
