When the Bishop Comes to Visit

• A resource guide for educators, parents, and families

• For audiences who have enjoyed Anne Kitch's "What We Do in Church" books

A bishop comes to visit a congregation for many reasons-a parish celebration,
baptism, confirmation, or a pastoral visit. With black and white illustrations, this interactive book for children and families describes the ministry of a bishop, including symbols and apparel, in preparation for the visit and worship. Confirmands will find this new book particularly helpful as it walks them through the liturgy of Confirmation. During the actual Confirmation rite, children will have a guide to follow along during the service, making this book serve multiple purposes for young and old alike.

AUDIENCE: For children and families, Confirmation classes (youth and adult),
Christian educators, plus congregations and/or bishops for bulk purchase prior to a visitation.
