MORNING: A presentation <strong>for</strong> children that is adapted from <strong>the</strong> book <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> same name.<br />

Children's drawings <strong>and</strong> voices are combined with stories from Scripture <strong>and</strong> a<br />

commentary about celebrating Eucharist on Sunday. Some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> stories include Noah,<br />

Moses, David, <strong>the</strong> Last Supper, <strong>the</strong> Resurrection, <strong>the</strong> Good Samaritan <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> feeding <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> 5,000. Simple responses <strong>and</strong> songs <strong>for</strong> children to sing at Mass are included in <strong>the</strong><br />

presentation. IN GOD'S NAME: A beautiful exploration <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> many ways we name God<br />

through our variety <strong>of</strong> human experience <strong>and</strong> encounters. Using multicultural<br />

illustrations <strong>and</strong> original music <strong>and</strong> lyrics, this story weaves <strong>the</strong> truth found in each<br />

seeker after God into a wonderful picture that mirrors <strong>the</strong> God who is in each <strong>and</strong> is<br />

beyond all names. It is especially appropriate <strong>for</strong> middle primary students, <strong>and</strong> would be<br />

an excellent resource <strong>for</strong> units on images <strong>of</strong> God. This is a computer animated video<br />

version <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> children's book <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> same name. A kit containing <strong>the</strong> book <strong>and</strong> video is<br />
