Summary
Details

"A Christmas Cracker serves as a Godsend to the overstretched parson, headmaster or preacher during one of the most exciting and busy times of the Christian calendar. A collection of ready-made and readily accessible Christmas services, tried and tested over the course of Reverend Parker's 25 years as a rector, yet still very much applicable to the modern minister.

This is in part a 'how to' guide yes, but it's more than that. It's about active learning, imprinting with God, making Christianity accessible and memorable. At times you could be forgiven for thinking you're in a wizard's magic class - cue the mixing of magnesium, sulphur and potassium and other chemical ingredients to produce the essence of the spirit of God. Then there are the classic games such as pass the parcel and church treasure hunts that are playfully woven into services to create an infectious enthusiasm for Christmas that goes beyond the presents and the physical manifestations of Christmas today.

Arranged over three parts, Reverend Parker first sets out a series of stand-alone services suitable for a school assembly or sermon slot with simple, symbolic aids and props to bring the act of worship to life. In part II there follows a selection of full-length major services that can be reproduced with or without adaptation and with practical pointers such as how to recruit willing helpers to enable these plans to come together.

A final section comprises ideas to embellish the themes covered in the earlier chapters. From human camels and Christmas action songs to carols sung to the tune of ""Match of the Day"", you'll find plenty of inspiration to engage young and old alike."
