This booklet includes the full texts and responses in both prayers, and helpful guidance on celebrating the Eucharist with children, including: • basic principles of bringing liturgy to life for children • understanding the requirements of canon law • creating the space for a Children’s Eucharist • planning the service • creating new liturgical texts for children's worship • imaginative ways of using the new prayers • becoming confident in celebrating with children.
