Activities show how these affect women and men and how they are shaped by our faith in God. Useful in youth, adult, and children's studies. This 24-page magazine invites children to learn about people from cultures and traditions different from their own. Set in full-color, it begins with an opportunity for readers to affirm their own identities and their worth as children of God. Then through stories, poems, Bible readings, activities, puzzles, recipes, and songs, it sets about exploring and understanding differences in language, holiday celebrations, foods, age, gender, and religious beliefs.
Exuberant illustrations enhance the learning.
Each comes with suggested Scripture readings and helpful background notes. The study closes with an optional intergenerational all-church celebration. Additional materials provide for longer sessions and alternative settings. It will show them how to connect the hope for peace with the biblical mandate and find ways to work for peace themselves. Songs, drama, and other group exercises are included.
