Here we have talks for the whole worshipping community - children, young people and adults - which enable them to share the teachings of the Gospel.

All-age talks are not the same as talks for children, with adults pre­s­ent. They need to be meaningful for a broad age and cultural range. With these talks, the family of Christians is able to celebrate by bringing all genera­tions together to reach the profound truths of the Gospel. The talks in this book are from Susan Sayers' enor­mously popular Living Stones parish prog­ramme. Here they are published separately to help those who are responsible for this part of the worship on any particular Sunday. The appropriate Lectionary readings are given, together with the thought for the day.
