My First Book of Prayer for Episcopal Children

Episcopal families and Churches will find that My First Book of Prayer makes a wonderful keepsake gift for young children to pray from at home, and to bring to Church on Sunday to read along and participate in the worship service. Many Episcopal Church educators may also find My First Book of Prayer a complimentary addition to their teaching materials. My First Book of Prayer features a gentle introduction to Special Prayers, Holy Baptism, Holy Eucharist, Holy Communion, Reconciliation of a Penitent, Psalms, The Commandments, The Sermon on the Mount, Our Liturgical Seasons, and Our Faith. This content is adapted for a child to understand. In the back of the book is a glossary of words used in the book and Church. Throughout the book, children will find enlightening explanations about the prayers and services. In addition, children will find references to verses from the New Revised Standard Version Bible that coincide with prayers and services. This valuable new Episcopal prayer book for children has been compiled by religious educator Arlene Krassa. Consulting and editing was provided by The Rev. Mary Johnson, The Rev. Ted Hackett, and The Rev. Byron Tindall. Illustrations were created by Paula and Mark Krassa.
